What if a soldier is on the battlefield, is wounded, believes in Christ just before he dies, but is unable to be baptized or see a priest.

Saved? Yes or No.

I suggest the catechism.

We would say things like “ORDINARILY” necessary. Extraordinary situations make for extraordinary ... situations!

BUT, if he thinks he’s dying, but then his life is saved, while it’s not for ME to ID his destination, certainly his appreciation and understanding of IHS is defective if he does not seek the sacraments.
