When the primitive propositions are not countable, replace sequential enumeration of the formulae by Zorn lemma. The union of a chain of consistent extensions is consistent because every formal proof is finite, so every consistent theory extends to a maximal consistent set in propositional logic. Declaring an atom true exactly when it belongs to that maximal set and proving the truth lemma by structural induction produces a model.
