EN: the state of being a Christian
It's more than just putting "Catholic" or "Born Again" on a form. It's the whole package: the Simbang Gabi commitment, the "luh, bawal 'yan, kasalanan" internal monologue, the family rosary, and the belief that a visit to Manaoag can fix things. It's the cultural and spiritual identity that shapes a huge part of Filipino life.
From pagka- (state/quality of being) + Kristiyano (Christian), from Spanish Cristiano.
The hyphen is important to distinguish it as the "state of being" from a different concept. Capitalization of Kristiyano is standard.
