Justification
CRITICAL: established CUV compound, literally ‘called/reckoned righteous’ — a forensic declaration, not a process. NEVER use 修成正果 (xiūchéng zhèngguǒ, ‘cultivating to attain the true fruit/result’) — a stock Buddhist/Daoist phrase for achieving enlightenment or immortality through spiritual practice; it imports an earned-attainment framework exactly opposite to justification by faith.
