The Consular Report of a Foreign Birth Abroad does not GRANT anyone citizenship. It is simply verification of citizenship which is issued to people who are born with the status of US citizen in another country.
Not having one could cause problems verifying citizenship in the future, but not having one does not remove citizenship status. The same information that would qualify Cruz for a CRFBA would serve as proof of citizenship otherwise, namely, he was born to an American citizen who by age and residency requirements met the criteria to pass her citizenship to him.
The debate about whether he is ‘natural born’ or not may be legitimate, although the reign of the Usurper in office now makes that a moot point IMHO, but since the circumstances of Cruz’s birth are well known and meet the citizenship requirements, he is a citizen with or without a CRFBA.

It has been stated on F.R. that altho’ Cruz probably re-entered the U.S. on a tourist visa around age 4, and unlikely with a U.S. Passport. Ted must have requested and received a CRBA in Texas around age 16 or 17 to get a U.S. passport to travel to England with his H.S. group. That may mean he is eligible to be a Senator, but was still a dual national at that time until 2014 when he renounced his Canadian citizenship. He held dual nationality right up until 2014, making it a bit of a “sticky wicket” to permit a run for President IMO, and he will face difficulties if he gets the nomination from the Dem. side.
You are quite patient.
Almost saintly in how you nicely explain things to fools of ill will.

Pretty powerful and easy to understand presentation about Cruz and Rubio’s eligibility to run for POTUS.
