Grace
Nimco conveys unearned favor apart from merit. Naxariis (mercy) still operates within a deeds-and-mercy judgment framework; barako (blessing/spiritual potency) carries strong associations with baraka transmitted through a Sufi sheekh’s lineage or tomb, an entirely different mechanism than grace given directly by God apart from any mediator.
