The Theological Credence Catalog
Put honest numbers on your present theological judgments, inspect the biblical evidence beside them, and see a landscape of conviction, uncertainty, tension, and revision.
This project works within a conservative Christian and creedal frame: Scripture is wholly true in the original writings and substantively preserved in faithful copies and translations. The uncertainty belongs to readers and their interpretations, not to Scripture’s truthfulness. Your credence landscape is the primary result. Church-family resemblance is a secondary, inspectable prototype overlay; its percentages are scores, not membership probabilities.

How to read this
“I am Reformed” hides several different judgments. A useful estimate attaches to a defined claim. Release 2 supplies reviewed, option-specific editorial definitions where the source catalog supplied only a label, while preserving definition provenance.
Parallel passages and downstream conclusions may share one premise. The catalog groups evidence and marks mirror records so repeated language does not become counterfeit independent confirmation.
A probability is a present judgment, not a permanent badge. Answer changes are recorded locally as revision history, so the result can show what moved, when it moved, and which further questions could most change the map.
Exclusive, jointly exhaustive alternatives share one 100% allocation, including any substantive hybrid. If a source-defined answer instead claims that Scripture or the evidence does not settle the choice, that evidential-scope proposition receives a separate 0–100 estimate because it may coexist with a doctrinal model. Other overlapping or separate claims also receive their own estimates. “Separate” describes the interface; it does not assert statistical independence between beliefs.
Three things therefore remain distinct: a doctrinal model, a cataloged proposition about what the evidence settles, and your personal confidence in the evidence you have reviewed. The last is a graded 0–100 confidence estimate; “the options are incomplete” and “I have not studied this enough” remain categorical personal notes. Those personal fields stay outside allocation, coherence, and prototype scoring. Logical tensions are advisory and never rewrite an answer.
The primary result is a credence landscape: strongest convictions, most uncertain questions, near-ties and substantive hybrids, compatible beliefs, tensions, lightly reviewed high-confidence answers, high-leverage unresolved questions, next subjects to study, and recent revisions. Denominational resemblance remains available as a secondary prototype overlay.
Source release
Interactive Release 2.4.2 (August 6, 2026) resolves the broad non-denominational evangelical result into 13 overlapping doctrinal streams and 10 cautious church-ecosystem adjacencies, while clearly separating doctrinal resemblance from organizational membership. Its key-verse controls and option-specific explanatory lens both reserve stable space, so moving among viewpoints never shifts the passage controls. It retains reviewed emphasis across all 45 guided questions, 210 viewpoints, and 435 transparent passage links. The source catalog remains a structurally validated research artifact, not peer-reviewed scholarship or a set of calibrated default probabilities.
