LSJ: Retrieving cost of cancelled cards

Is this still the case? In context I'm not sure whether this answer
applied only to action cards and action modifiers or to all cards.
I'm asking mostly because Section II.B.3.c of the rules outline [1]
reads "If the card is canceled, skip to step D" and paying for cards
happens in step C (i.e. is skipped).
In particular, do the costs of master cards cancelled by Santaleous'
special get paid and remain so?
Santaleous: "Camarilla: Santaleous gets +1 bleed for each unique
hunting ground in play. He may burn 3 blood to cancel a master card as
it is played."

To the extent of context supplied above, it seems to be all cards.
Was there more context that suggested a smaller set of cards?
At any rate, costs for action cards is not paid until resolution, so
if the action card is canceled as it is played, the cost is never
paid, so the question of retrieving that unpaid cost doesn't come up.

Hmm. Seems to be an error in the outline, yes.

Yes, they're paid. The cost is not reimbursed if Santaleous cancels
it.

The original thread focussed mostly on actions and actions modifiers.
I was only about 99% sure that the "card" in "card text" referred to
any card rather than only an action or action modifier.
Thanks for the swift response!
