Is $T_1$ condition necessary in the definition of completely normality?
$begingroup$
Engelking states a theorem(2.1.7) in the book General Topology as follows:
For every $T_1$ spaces the following are equivalent:
(1) Every subspace of $X$ is normal.
(2) Every open subspace of $X$ is normal.
(3) Two separated sets have disjoint open neighborhoods.
I was asked to show that (1) and (3) are equivalent, however, I don’t know where the $T_1$ condition is used in the proof. My proof goes as follows:
If $X$ satisfies (3), then let $Y$ be a subspace and $A,Bsubset Y$ disjoint closed sets in the subspace $Y$. Denote the closure operator in $X$ by $Cl$ and in $Y$ by $Cl^*$. We claim that $A, B$ are separated in $X$: $$Cl(A)cap B= Cl(A)cap Cl^*(B) = Cl(A)cap Cl(B)cap Y = Cl^*(A)cap Cl^*(B)$$ But this is empty by the fact that $A, B$ are closed. Then we can take disjoint open neighborhood of $A,B$ in $X$, and intersect both by $Y$.
If $X$ satisfies (1), then take two separated sets $A, B$ in $X$. The open subspace $Y=X-(Cl(A)cap Cl(B))$ contains each of $A $ and $B$ by the fact that they are separated. The closure of them in $Y$ is empty: $Cl^*(A)cap Cl^*(B)= Cl(A)cap Cl(B)cap Y$ is empty because $Y$ does not contain $Cl(A)cap Cl(B)$. Take disjoint open neighborhood of $Cl^*(A)$ and $Cl^*(B)$ in $Y$, then by the fact that $Y$ is open, we are done with the proof.
So where exactly did I use $T_1$ condition in my proof?

@WilliamElliot The author requires normal spaces to be both $T_1$ and $T_4$. I understand it now-I use this book just for a reference so I was not aware it has an alternate definition for normal space. Thank you for the comment.

Be aware that Engelking has the tendency to assume extra separation axioms in some definitions: compact/paracompact includes Hausdorff, normal and regular includes $T_1$, perfectly normal includes normal (which includes $T_1$) etc.
So in order to have a space all of whose subspaces are normal, we can only consider $T_1$ spaces to begin with. It's the price of admission, as it were.
