The second part is right; first part I suspect is wrong.

Can you tag a denomination, please? If not, I think this qualifies as a "Truth" question -- not a good fit for the site.

This question appears to be off-topic because it doesn't inquire into any particular tradition's official, historical, or widely accepts beliefs.

@Calvin Sure ... if you can show that the interpretation thereof is a Baptist interpretation : )

This doesn't look to me like the baptist understanding of hell ... If I'm mistaken, please cite some baptist sources!

I need to read this encyclical more carefully. I get the sense that I'm inserting a comma or a stress somewhere in my head that changes the meaning. The overall nature the letter seems to be a rebuke of over-certainty and following silencing of theological dialogue, provided that the dialogue submits to Church Authority.

(I've apparently been slacking off enough in my research that some of these more basic items, like what category of teaching encyclicals fall into, have started fading from memory ... )

Might be worth a chat ... But, starting at around 5 minutes into this, Fr. Barron seems to suggest that Adam is not a literal figure. In your opinion, is he mistaken? Or ... well ... let me ask it this way: Into what category do encyclicals go? They're not on par with dogma, are they?

Reason I ask: I was actually unaware that a belief in Adam and Eve as individual persons as opposed to potentially as metaphorical stand-ins for "the dawn of humanity" was required. I.e., I'd thought Adam and Eve were in the category as Noah and the Flood -- a literal interpretation is not required. ... Not that this belief requires a strictly literal interpretation of the events. But, certainly more literal than I'd realized.

Is Humani Generis the only instance you're aware of wherein we're required to believe in the existence of Adam and Eve is the sole origins of the human race?

In case I don't have time for a full, cited answer later: Everyone is suitably "en-graced" for their particular calling. We don't merit grace by any action. But, our actions can be the vehicles by which grace is delivered or manifest. Similarly, our actions and inactions can also block grace. So, at any given point in time, God's got a mission for you. He pumps you full of the necessary graces to accomplish that mission. Your decision to respond to God takes the form of prayer and good action. Grace becomes manifest. Inaction and explicit sin impedes that grace.

Without interest in a specific denomination, this is an opinion question.
