Default does cherokee purple have any edge against late blight?

of all 10 varieties this year, CP has produced by far the most fruits that have had no LB on them and a lot of fruits at that. taste is outstanding, even better than i remember and it is a top favorite of mine so this outstanding taste is surprising to me.

i suppose that it is just luck that the CP plant has exhibited the least damage from LB. it lost a lot of leaves early on and it showed LB earlier than some varieties. i really did not have much hope for it after the 1st several tomatoes were picked. after about a week i found 9 or 10 breakers today and none have any LB on them.

any chance CP has some immunity to LB?

also can i SAFELY save seeds from these fruits since they do not have any LB on them even tho the plant does or am i taking too much of a chance? i would ferment the seeds.
