In any case, I don't think that's the constitutional way because of this part: "While members may refuse or resign their honours that does not reduce their right to them once they have been granted by the Curia".
The two sentences taken together make that interpretation incorrect.

The first sentence is clear that resigning or refusing (such as pann with his medal) their honours, which does include citizenship, does not reduce their right to them once they've been granted. Requiring them to meet criteria, even the initial criteria goes against that statement, especially when combined with the following sebtence which clearly states that they can be re-requested as long as the honour has not been revoked. The major fault with the intepretation is that by leaving the citizen group the member stops being a citizen which the first sentence clearly says isn't the case, the member is just refusing to be identified as such but they continue to be a citizen.
