First place to start at is here, with the 21 ecumenical councils.

Bound up in Trent is the confirmation of the Canon, so Scripture as defined is considered to be infalliable.

+Ineffabilius Deus “1854” on the Immaculate Conception
+Munificentissimus Deus “1950” on the Assumption of Mary

There may be others as well. I am not the right person to ask this question, so I am pinging the others to correct and add to this list.

Remember that Papal infalliability is just a subset of the infalliability of the magisterium. This is why infalliability is pretty much just all the general councils with a few exceptions.

The major disputes between branches of Christianity are for the most part dictated by the list of the ecumenical councils that are considered valid. Different branches recognise different ones.

Also, infalliability applies only to teachings of dogma, not of disciplinary decisions. Matters outside of this sphere are not part of infalliability even if they are part of the Council.

Peace + Blessings.

BK, context again; my charge was that there is no infallible list of all infallible teachings (or of all CFs), to which you asserted there was and unless you can provide THAT then the varied compilations of teachings which you and other fallible men, while useful, will not do.

I was aware of PI, and if by "general" you mean only ecumenical councils (not regional) speaking to universally on F+M then that is correct. But while that relates to Trent providing the first indisputable infallible canon, it does not provide an infallible list of all infallible decrees. And thus the number can differ from one source to another.
