Semi-Pelagianism edit

I have added "so-called" to "Semi-pelagian" because, as the article semi-pelagianism relates, the term is often a "misnomer". As a term, it has the whiff of NPOV, as it relates to a sectarian polemic position that synergism is logically no different to Pelagianism (i.e., the fallacy of the law of the excluded middle.)

Furthermore, the wording in the article without "so-called" suggests that "semi-pelagian" was a term used in the Patristic period to characterize Faustus' views, which AFAIK is anachronistic. Rick Jelliffe (talk) 03:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
