General Topology, chapter II, § 3. Complete spaces

Every cluster point xx of a Cauchy filter F\mathfrak{F} is a limit point of F\mathfrak{F}.

There is a filter G\mathfrak{G} which is finer than both F\mathfrak{F} and B(x)\mathfrak{B}(x) (Chapter I, § 7, no. 2, Proposition 4); since F\mathfrak{F} is a Cauchy filter, so is G\mathfrak{G}. If F0\mathfrak{F}_0 is the unique minimal Cauchy filter coarser than F\mathfrak{F}, then both F0\mathfrak{F}_0 and B(x)\mathfrak{B}(x) are minimal Cauchy filters coarser than G\mathfrak{G}. Hence F0=B(x)\mathfrak{F}_0 = \mathfrak{B}(x), which shows that F\mathfrak{F} converges to xx.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
