Imputed Righteousness
CRITICAL: ‘Credited/reckoned’ righteousness (зарахована, from зарахувати, ‘to count/credit toward’) translates Paul’s forensic-accounting language in Romans 4. This entire imputation framework is a specifically Western/Reformation theological category absent from Orthodox and Greek Catholic soteriology alike, which prefer participatory/transformative categories; this compound must be explicitly taught, not assumed, and заслужена (‘earned’) is explicitly rejected as its exact opposite.
