‘Necessary to salvation’ is said in two ways.
First: no one may be ignorant of it without losing salvation, and no one is saved without express knowledge of it.
Second: no one may reject it, or have the Church teach its contrary, without sinning against his own salvation.
Latin
III. Sed hic observandum est aliquid ad salutem necessarium dici posse duobus modis. Et primo quidem quoniam tale est, ut nemo illud ignorare queat citra salutis dispendium, neque possit ullus servari sine expressa ejus cognitione. Deinde etiam quia nullus illud rejicere potest, & contrarium ejus Ecclesia docere, quin peccet in propriam salutem.
