Martyr/passion bearer

edit

I just noticed the text below:

  "Like them, he was canonized as a martyr by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in 1981."

On the Romanov page as well as the individual pages, they were said to be canonized as "passion bearers" instead of martyrs. Should this also be true of Botkin?

From the Romanov page:

"Nikolai II and his family were proclaimed passion-bearers by the Russian Orthodox church in 2000. 

(In orthodoxy, a passion-bearer is a saint who was not killed because of his faith like a martyr, but died in faith at the hand of murderers.)" Illyria20
