So would it be fair to summarize this by saying in modern-day terms, this section would only apply to persons actually convicted of treason?

in a strange way, the very situation asked by OP comes to pass at the moment with trials trying to pull Mr. Truml off the ballot in muliple states for insurrection... might there be an update needed?

@Michael No. A civil determination can be made that a person is not eligible under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. A criminal conviction is not necessary.
