If propositions have ontological status prior to and independent of their subject ideas referring to existing objects, existential import cannot be a condition on proposition-hood itself.

Ontological status(in metaphysics (the study of what exists)): What kind of thing something is considered to be or how real it exists—for example, whether something is a physical object, a concept, a property, or something else entirely.
condition on proposition-hood(what the argument is debating about what makes statements real): A requirement that something must meet in order to count as a valid statement or proposition.
existential import(In classical first-order predicate logic, universal sentences '∀x φ(x)' have existential import because they entail '∃x φ(x)'.): The property of a sentence by which its truth entails the existence of at least one entity satisfying the relevant predicate.
propositions(Answer to the question of what metaphysical category propositions belong to): Entities belonging to a sui generis metaphysical category of their own kind, not reducible to other categories
