The L-S theorem alone entails only that ZFC has a countable model IF

need the firepower Aatu notes to prove that ZFC in fact has a model
and to define what it means for such a model to be non-standard.

Why do you think impredicative comprehension is needed to define what
it means for a model of ZFC to be non-standard? (Full impredicative
comprehension is of course an overkill for the existence of a model of
ZFC; Delta-1-1 comprehension will do.)

Ever the stickler, Aatu! I wasn't really thinking precise details here.
The point of my response to George was simply that L-S alone wasn't
sufficient to prove the existence of nonstandard models of ZFC, contrary
to what he had asserted. I suppose "more firepower" rather than "the
firepower Aatu notes" would have been a more appropriate wording.
