Theorem wl-dfclel 37962

Description: The defining characterization of class membership. Unlike the forms on which it is based, it is unrestricted. Proven in Tarski's FOL, from the axiom of (set) extensionality (ax-ext 2733), the definitions df-clel 2836 and df-cleq . (Contributed by BJ, 27-Jun-2019.) Base on wl-dfclel.just 37960.
