Declaration of Grace

In Lutheranism, the Declaration of Grace is the words that are said in the Divine Service by the pastor, following the congregation reciting the Confiteor. It is not regarded as absolution, rather it is regarded as an "assurance of forgiveness".

gollark: Wait, there's a rarity scale for skills and items and such in ToH, right? Maybe it could be based on that.
