"The belief that the well-known obligations are obligatory and that the well-known prohibitions are forbidden is one of the most important basic principles of faith, and the one who rejects that is a kaafir according to scholarly consensus."

Yes it's true - don't you see it says according to the scholarly consensus?
Just before that quote, it said:

because the basic principle is that whoever rejects something on which there is obvious scholarly consensus is guilty of kufr.

If there is consensus that means there can be no doubt regarding the validity of the ruling - it must be true. Therefore is a person rejects a true consensus (the article says obvious) then the person is rejecting something that is 100% from Islam, and this is an act of kufr and takes a person out of Islam, just like how rejecting a verse from the Quran takes a person out of Islam.
This statement explained it better:
Quote:
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Whoever believes that something is permissible when there is consensus that it is forbidden and the ruling thereon is well known among the Muslims and the texts leave no room for doubt concerning it – such as pig meat, adultery and the like, concerning which there is no difference of scholarly opinion – is guilty of kufr.
