Have I correctly verified Core?

I've done this following but am a bit out of my depth:


4. Downloaded SHA256SUMS.ASC from Bitcoincore.org
5. Verified SHA256SUMS.ASC was created with Wladimir's certificate via Kleopatra (*See below)

I am led to believe that this message is correct, and that 'The data could not be verified' is simply a result of me having not verified Wladimir's key via Kleopatra.

You must be Change Certification Trust from Wladimir's key to Full Trust or Ultimate Trust,

If you are using Kleopatra (Microsoft Windows):






If you are using GPG Keychain (Mac OS):
