Where did the Buddha say that Teachings that don't contain the Noble Eightfold Path cannot lead to Enlightenment?

score:2

It's in the Mahaparinibbana Sutta. In whichever teaching and discipline/ training the Noble Eightfold Path is not found, the four types of enlightened persons cannot be found also.

“Subhadda, in whatever teaching and training the noble eightfold path is not found, there is no true ascetic found, no second ascetic, no third ascetic, and no fourth ascetic. In whatever teaching and training the noble eightfold path is found, there is a true ascetic found, a second ascetic, a third ascetic, and a fourth ascetic. In this teaching and training the noble eightfold path is found. Only here is there a true ascetic, here a second ascetic, here a third ascetic, and here a fourth ascetic. Other sects are empty of ascetics.
