Great, you spoke freely! Others don't, which is why I ask directly. I don't block.
That says the class is "many Pharisees and Sadducees" and "scribes". That logically implies by speaking to those individuals he's not speaking of any other generation. Plus we have the part about how you or I have a special revelation, which you're very probably subsuming under your recognition of the inspiration of Scripture and the Spirit's guiding you to interpret it. (Plus the text doesn't say "won't help", it says they were then "fit for hell" and "fleeing wrath" without any finality. I collected 45 Scriptures that are unambiguously about the final and irrevocable state of the wicked, so I'm surprised you didn't use that kind of language in reference to the Jews.)
Given that, it would appear that we do not have grammaticohistorical license to assume this text does speak about "collective mortal sin" or that it condemns every man, woman, and child among Talmudic Jews today without hope.
In context, the Church has power to exorcise anyone and to convict them in case God will change their hearts. I believe in evangelizing everyone and I often work with good news to Jews so that they might repent and accept Jesus like anyone else in the church. I don't believe any seed doctrine is capable of stopping God's power (funny how you defended seed doctrine not with genealogy but with party affiliation). You mention Edom, but those Edomites who joined the Jewish people intermarried so that the next generations remain Jewish, they didn't stay as an enclave until all the original Jewish people were dead or something. So I asked because I was interested, but it seems your Scriptures and personal revelation don't actually carry the case or meet the special burden of proof that we would need for such a sweeping assertion of irredeemability. Thanks!
