Agreed, but further propose that it is the "Truthful Individual" that is salvation. Christ represents the composite hero of Western culture as the Truthful Individual who acts upon the truth.
1) Christ’s used free will to refuse conscription because most evil in this world originates from a few people, called “the Authorities,” forcing others to commit violence against the innocent.
2) Christ exposed the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees.
3) Christ exposed the corruption of the money changers.
The very existence of Orthodox Christianity and the State itself depend on obscuring these fundamental Truths.
