Leaving aside the "mechanics" of a universal conversion, about which revelation says nothing, Balthasar feels free to clear away a space for such speculative avenues because while revelation is clear about the consummation of all things ("God will be all in all") and even about God's desire to convert each person, (5) it does not link the two together; instead, some texts seem to assert the actual condemnation of some individuals; Balthasar designates these texts as "pre-Easter." (6) Hence, he does not claim that there is a clear revelation of universal salvation to which we must respond with faith, as indicative universalists do, (7) but he seems to favor the position that there is a concealed promise of universal salvation to which we must respond with the theological virtue of hope.
