So also ‘necessary to faith’ has two senses.
Either it is required for each person’s faith — no one without explicit faith in it should be counted a believer — or it belongs in general to faith’s object and binds the Church’s public faith.
Latin
IV. Et similiter aliquid ad fidem necessarium dicitur, vel quia necessarium est ad singulorum fidem, nec quisquam sine fide illius explicita fidelis censeri debet: vel in genere ad objectum fidei pertinet, & publicam fidem Ecclesiae obligat.
