Doctrine Analysis
This Language Package’s doctrine_risk_registry.json tracks 40 doctrines across Romans 1-16, each assigned a risk tier that drives Phase 2 review routing.
Risk tier summary
| Tier | Count | Review routing | Example doctrines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | 10 | Human theologian, every occurrence | Incarnation, Resurrection of Christ, Salvation, Assurance of Salvation, Sainthood, Prayer and Intercession, Messianic Promise, Deity/Sonship/Lordship of Christ |
| High | 14 | Human theologian | Gospel, Grace, Faith, Sanctification, Spiritual Gifts, Providence, Inspiration of Scripture, Unity of Jews and Gentiles |
| Medium | 12 | Native speaker review | Separation unto God’s Service, Adoption, Mission to the Nations, Evangelism, Church as God’s People |
| Low | 4 | Automated review only | Apostleship, Thanksgiving, Mutual Edification, Christian Fellowship |
Why Critical doctrines cluster where they do
Portuguese’s Critical-risk cluster is unusually concentrated around Christ’s person and work (incarnation, resurrection) and the nature of salvation itself, because Kardecist Spiritism offers a complete, internally consistent alternative account of exactly these doctrines — reincarnation instead of resurrection, gradual spiritual evolution instead of decisive salvation, “most evolved spirit” instead of unique incarnate Son. Sainthood and intercession are Critical for the same reason as in other historically Catholic Romance-language contexts: popular piety narrows both terms to canonized-saint veneration and Marian mediation.
Review routing rationale
Critical and High risk doctrines (24 of 40) require mandatory human theologian review because an automated or native-speaker-only check could confirm the Portuguese is fluent and even recognize it as biblically accurate vocabulary, without catching that a Kardecist-influenced or folk-Catholic reader will supply a fundamentally different doctrinal content for the same words. Native speaker review is sufficient for Medium-risk doctrines, where the concern is regional and cultural fit (e.g. evangelism framing across a pluralistic religious landscape) rather than a direct doctrinal collision.
