Anathemata refer to doctrines, not to people.

LOLOLOL!

Are you just making this up on the fly, hoping nobody notices?

COUNCIL OF TRENT -
CANONS ON JUSTIFICATION

If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema." 

According to the link (and to history and the dictionary)...

"...you will see the word "anathema" used many times by the Council.  This means that those who disagree with the doctrines of this Council are cursed.  In Gal. 1:8-9, the word "anathema" is used.  The curse must come from God.  Therefore, we conclude that according to Roman Catholicism, anyone who disagrees with the following Canons are cursed of God.  The Roman Catholic church excommunicates those under anathema.  In other words, excommunication means being outside the Christian church.  Being outside the church means you are not saved.

In spite of what Catholicism states, the Bible speaks differently."

The canon you cite condemns the doctrine of “faith alone”. What is says is that anyone who thinks so is excommunicated; that is the precise meaning of “anathema”. It does not mean that he is condemned to hell because he is not dead yet. It was explained to you many times, “doctor”.
