Holy Spirit
CRITICAL: must be taught as the personal third Person of the Trinity, explicitly distinguished from Kardecist ‘espíritos guias’/‘mentores espirituais’ and from Candomblé/Umbanda orixás and spirit guides invoked and incorporated by mediums — both are mainstream, organized religious frameworks in Brazil, not marginal folk belief.
