Is sanctifying grace still necessary for salvation?

[Umeko]

I know that at one time, everybody was pretty much in agreement that sanctifying grace was/is necessary. But now I never hear it mentioned, especially when talking about atheists, agnostics, or unbaptized people. Has the Church’s teaching changed on this, or is it pretty much a given so people don’t see the need to mention it?
