Salvation
CRITICAL: unlike Hindi, there is no false-cognate word to reject here, but Latin American folk Catholic piety commonly treats salvación as a lifelong, uncertain outcome secured through sacraments, penance, and the intercession of saints and the Virgin. Romans presents salvation as a decisive reconciliation received by faith; the contrast with a merit-and-mediation framework must be taught explicitly, not assumed.
