Salvation

CRITICAL: NEVER use 解脫 (Buddhist liberation from samsara) or 超度 (a monk’s ritual rite releasing the dead from suffering). Avoid quoting the popular Guanyin invocation 大慈大悲救苦救難 (‘greatly compassionate, saving from suffering and hardship’) as a synonym — Guanyin worship is extremely common in Hong Kong households and framing biblical salvation with her stock epithet invites direct syncretistic conflation. 救恩 = deliverance from sin’s guilt through Christ, received by faith in this life.
