In short: cut a hole in the chest and connect the wound to a valve. A cut by a spear would do, and a wet sponge would also do the trick, and both were present and used on Calvary.

If not, what is the point with the pierced side and the sponge?

So he was really still alive when he was seen ascending into heaven?
Must've hurt when Thomas put his hand in his side.

In short: I think they're meaning to imply that he didn't "die" on the cross, he "lost his life" on the cross. (?)
... bled out, if you will.
... hence the "cut a hole in the chest and connect the wound to a valve" / "cut by a spear would do, and a wet sponge" analogy ... with the sponge being the "valve", I can only assume. (?)
