On salvation of pagans; you doubtless know of the theory that there are
four kinds of baptism: fire, water, blood & desire. For instance, the Holy
Innocents in Bethleham, c. l AD, are considered protomartyrs, but were
hardly believers in Christ. Simone Weil surely was a believer, tho not a
churchmember. Isn't perhaps the idea that Christ's visit to the underworld
wasn't once, but lasts, in some sense, for all time? Pardon Tillinghast
