I don't understand "non ei dimitterentur"; (not separated on him???)
I took "ei" for "on him". I judged "him" is Christ. "dimitto" means "forgive" immediately before this place, but at this place it seems to mean "send away、let loose, etc." But if so, a contradictionary might arise against the consequent passages.
ut quisquis in Ecclesia eius dimitti sibi peccata non crederet, non ei dimitterentur;
(that any people who don't believe their sins are forgiven in His church might not be separated on Him;)
quisquis autem crederet seque ab his correctus averteret, in eiusdem Ecclesiae gremio constitutus, eadem fide atque correctione sanaretur.
(whoever believes Him, gets corrected, and gets well-ordered in the bosom of the church, and turns away from sins, and by the faith and improvement recovers to health.)
Quisquis enim non credit dimitti sibi posse peccata, fit deterior desperando, quasi nihil illi melius quam malum esse remaneat, ubi de fructu suae conversionis infidus es
