Oblivantsy

Oblivantsy (from Russian: обливанцы) is a word still used by Old Believers for those who practise the baptism by sprinkling water, as in Catholic Church, rather than by submerging the whole body three times, as the Old Believers insist on. The Russian Orthodox Church practises both ways of baptizing and, subsequently, recognizes baptism both by sprinkling and submerging.

gollark: OH REALLY?

gollark: Oh, and you can index strings so `("abcd")[4]` returns `"d"`.

gollark: I also made it so you can add and subtract functions.
