Abandon the second Noble Truth and there are left only 3: The Truth, the Truthteller, and the Way of Truth
But The Second Noble Truth is useful to be aware of, because probably it's true for most of us.
The path and fruit of arahant are identical except inasmuch as path is the shift to the very first moment of arahant
The fruit involves a shift from a moment of arahant to another moment of arahant, but it's equally arahantish. The path involves leaving behind unarahantishness, but the path is still arahanted. The fruit on the other hand doesn't need any leaving behind of its previous moment, which was also arahanty.
