Equivalent characterizations of Henselian Rings (Theorem 4.2 in James Milne's "Étale Cohomology")

I am stuck on a step in the proof of Theorem 4.2 in Chapter I of James Milne's "Étale Cohomology". The particular implication is (c) $\Rightarrow$ (d).

Let $X=\text{Spec} (A)$, where $A$ is a local ring with the maximal ideal $m$, and let $x$ be the unique closed point of $X$.

(c) If $f:Y\to X$ is a quasi-finite separated morphism, then $Y=Y_0\coprod Y_1\coprod\ldots\coprod Y_n$, where $f(Y_0)$ does not contain $x$ and $Y_i$ are spectrums of local rings and are finite over $X$ for $i\geqslant 1.$

(d) For any étale morphism $g:Y\to X$ such that there is a point $y\in Y$ such that $f(y)=x,\ k(y)=k(x)$ there is a section $s: X\to Y.$

The proof states:

Using (c), we may reduce the question to the case of a finite étale local homomorphism $A\to B$ such that $k(m)=k(n)$, where $n$ is the maximal ideal of $B$. According to (2.9b), $B$ is a free $A$-module, and since $k(n)=B\otimes_A k(m)=k(m)$ it must have rank 1, that is, $A\approx B.$

I think everything makes sense if we add the separated hypothesis to (d). As I understand the proof in this case, we are applying (c), restricting to the $Y_i$, and then we find at least one of them such that there is a $y\in Y_i$ with $f(y)=x,\ k(y)=k(x)$, and finally use flatness to argue that some $Y_i$ is isomorphic to $X$. But without this additional hypothesis, I don't see how (c) can be applied.


Yes, the morphism in (d) should be assumed separated. This appears to be an oversight on the author's part.

Sorry I bothered trying to help. I'll refrain in future.

but the the OP found it helpful, so I put it back up.
