Lemma 61.18.3. Let S be a scheme. Let \overline{s} be a geometric point of S. Let \mathcal{U} = \{ \varphi _ i : S_ i \to S\} _{i\in I} be a pro-étale covering. Then there exist i \in I and geometric point \overline{s}_ i of S_ i mapping to \overline{s}.
Proof. Immediate from the fact that \coprod \varphi _ i is surjective and that residue field extensions induced by weakly étale morphisms are separable algebraic (see for example More on Morphisms, Lemma 37.64.11. \square
