One should keep firmly in mind that the Inquisition was aimed squarely at correcting wayward Catholics, not the faithful of other religions. Once the Protestant settlement ocurred in the mid-1500's after the Wars of Religion were finished, the Inqusition was no longer aimed at those men, since they were no longer rebels against the established order, nor had they left the Catholic Church anymore, but rather they were never a part of it from the beginning. Similarly in England with Catholics after the settlement of 1688.

The curses still stand as church doctrine

"If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in divine mercy, which remits sins for Christ’s sake, let him be anathema" (Canon 12, Council of Trent).

"If anyone says that after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out that no debt of temporal punishment remains...let him be anathema (Canon 30, Council of Trent).
