Recently, in Axioms 10(2): 119 (2021), a nonclassical first-order theory T of sets and functions has been introduced as the collection of axioms we have to accept if we want a foundational theory for (all of) mathematics that is not weaker than ZF, that is finitely axiomatized, and that does not have a countable model (if it has a model at all, that is). Here we prove that T is relatively consistent with ZF. We conclude that this is an important step towards showing that T is an advancement in the foundations of mathematics.
