Salvation
CRITICAL: reconciliation with God received by faith, not a status assumed automatically through sacramental participation (baptism, First Communion, confession) or through belonging to a historically Catholic nation. Popular piety in Poland can treat zbawienie as the default outcome of being a practicing, or even nominal, Polish Catholic; Romans’ argument for salvation received personally by faith must be taught explicitly against this assumption.
