As @JohnLawler said, not all Latin words keep their Latin plurals. Consider:

• virus/viruses (not virii, see link)
• fetus/fetuses
• victor/victors
• vector/vectors
• minus/minuses
• onus/onuses
• sinus/sinuses
• status/statuses (yes, statuses)
• stadium/stadiums (Greek word actually but came to English through Latin and (almost) nobody says stadia)

And the list goes on. I have no Latin so I don't know how many of these don't keep their plural because of the rule mentioned in @PeterShor's answer but you can see that many Latin words have normal English plurals. In other words, trust the dictionary, it tends to know more than we do.
