I can only guess demerit means:

(1) misrepresenting or slandering the Tathagata; and

(2) having wrong view that naturally does not side with liberation.

Kind regards

"Monks, these two slander the Tathagata. Which two? He who explains what was not said or spoken by the Tathagata as said or spoken by the Tathagata. And he who explains what was said or spoken by the Tathagata as not said or spoken by the Tathagata. These are two who slander the Tathagata."
