Theorem cleljust 1998
Description: When the class variables in definition df-clel 2618 are replaced with setvar variables, this theorem of predicate calculus is the result. This theorem provides part of the justification for the consistency of that definition, which "overloads" the setvar variables in wel 1991 with the class variables in wcel 1990. (Contributed by NM, 28-Jan-2004.) Revised to use equsexvw 1932 in order to remove dependencies on ax-10 2019, ax-12 2047, ax-13 2246. Note that there is no DV condition on 𝑥, 𝑦, that is, on the variables of the left-hand side. (Revised by BJ, 29-Dec-2020.)
