Salvation

CRITICAL: спасение is the correct and only viable term, but it must be anchored to Christ’s death and resurrection as a decisive, received event (Romans 10:9-10), not left to default into the Orthodox theosis framework of salvation as an open-ended lifelong process of deification requiring ongoing sacramental participation. Both are compatible in careful theology, but an unqualified use of спасение in a Protestant-authored curriculum risks either being misread through an Orthodox synergistic lens or sounding like an attack on it; frame pastorally, not polemically.
