Roch Kereszty has written about Bernard of Clairvaux's writings on the
universality of salvation in: Kereszty, Roch. "Relationship Between
Anthropology and Christology: St. Bernard, A Teacher for Our Age."
_La dottrina della vita spirituale nelle opere di San Bernardo di
Clairvaux_. _AC_ 46 (1990): 271-306. See esp. 273-4.
As to Jess Paehlke's questions, Kereszty writes that "For Bernard, Lazarus
in the Lukan parable symbolizes ALL the elect before the coming of Christ,
and Lazarus is saved by his faith .... (Ep 190:18: VIII, 33)" [emphasis
mine]. p. 273.
Kereszty also discusses Salvation History.
