Home page: 'Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, died on the cross for the sins of the world, that all might be saved through him', and 'the Word of God and the Sacraments of Christ create saving faith in Jesus'. All four elements: who Jesus is (the title 'the Christ' counts, ChurchCompass 2026-10-17), the need, His work and the response. No newcomer pathway, so 4.
