If a man has validly, but illicitly, received Holy Orders in the view of the CC, to what extent do those Holy Orders give him a shortcut to becoming a fully authorized Deacon, Priest, or Bishop in the Catholic Church?
My guess would be that if said man has been legitimately educated in a seminary or has otherwise received equivalent education and training (e.g. perhaps they attended a schismatic seminary (of a tradition with valid Holy Orders) and were ordained by that tradition or they attended a Catholic seminary but joined a schismatic tradition before receiving Holy Orders), then they would be able to find their way to fully legitimate clergy status in the CC after having gone to Confession, etc. and restored or established their communion in the CC, and finished whatever they were missing in terms of education or training.
I would also guess that men with NO qualifications that were technically ordained by a rogue Bishop (e.g. a rogue Bishop just up and ordained some guy he met on the street using the valid sacramental procedure) would have NO advantage.
Is this basically correct?
