Congregation for Catholic Education says Fr.Robert Christian O.P's case should be referred to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

The American Dominican at the Angelicum University,Rome teaches that cases of persons saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire are known to us in the present times.

According to an official of the Congregation for Catholic Education,Vatican we cannot see the dead in 2012 who are saved in invincible ignorance, seeds of the word, elements of sanctification etc.These cases are known only to God.

The professor of ecclesiology at the University of St.Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum),Rome,assumes that we know exceptions to the thrice defined dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.I was present at the Angelicum University, on the feast day of St.Francis Xavier,a few years back, when he spoke on this subject.

The official, at the office of the Cardinal Prefect, Zenon Grocholewski,said this was a doctrinal issue and it came under the jurisdiction of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,Vatican.He agreed that it was irrational for the professor to assume that we can see the dead.

It may be mentioned that this error of Fr.Robert Christian O.P is not likely due to ill will or disobedience but to a general ignorance on this issue.
