Catechism of the Catholic Church (1261):
"Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus’ tenderness toward children which caused him to say: “Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,” allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism.”

“Limbo was never a defined truth of faith.” The Ratzinger Report, p147].

Vatican II, *Lumen Gentium:16.
“Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience.(19
) Nor does Divine Providence deny the helps necessary for salvation to those who, without blame on their part, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God and with His grace strive to live a good life.”

Limbo has never ever been a dogma of faith. Nor defined as a doctrine…
:clapping: That settles the matter for once and for all!
