If the Church slips into heresy, then you stay in the Church and help her return to the right path. Jumping ship from the Ark of Salvation is never a good move. If a bad synod is enough for you to leave the Church entirely, what would that say about your commitment to the sacramental Church to which you belong to right now? As soon as you personally disagree with something, you want to leave?
I think the big no, no, in the assumption of Catholicism being the ark is if this heresy is agreed by the Pope. Segments of the Church can fall away in terms of doctrine (as we know from history), but the Pope does not have that luxury in Catholicism. If the Pope ratifies it, Catholicism as the ark comes under question, ergo Catholicism not necessarily being the Church becomes a possible reality, ergo, it should be left for the real church.
Seeing as I’m late to the party that’s just my 2 cents.
