Imputed Righteousness

CRITICAL: CUV Romans 4 phrase, ‘reckoned/credited as righteous’ — righteousness credited by God, NOT earned through moral cultivation (修成正果, see justification note) or self-righteousness (自义, zìyì). Must always retain the forensic ‘reckoned’ sense, resisting collapse into the Confucian-virtue reading of 义 flagged under righteousness.
