Faith
вера is the standard, unambiguous term, but in Russian Orthodox usage ‘faith’ is often assumed to include sacramental participation and church membership (вера = being Orthodox) rather than personal trust in Christ alone. Context must clarify Romans’ sense of individual, Christ-directed trust, especially in justification passages (3:22-28, 4:1-25).
