does Nostra Aetate conflict with Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus? If not–how do they fit together?

Read this letter from the Holy Office in 1949, which explains the proper understanding of EENS.

Also, remember, the plan of salvation includes all men–God draws all men towards conversion and salvation–of course many turn away from Him 😦

If you read Nostra Aetate, it will become fairly apparent to you that it does not specifically discuss the salvation of those who are part of non-Christian religions. It is a document that - from my perspective - is meant to start an ecumenical religious dialogue with these religions. I have a difficult time understanding how it could be seen to conflict with the doctrine of outside of the Church, no salvation.
 
That’s a good point. It’s not a doctrinal document, but one that gives the Church direction to how she should intereact with other religions in the world.
