kandidattilfredshetsmålinger

Kandidat til frelse is a phrase of Norwegian origin that translates to "candidate for salvation." In a broad religious sense, it may refer to a person who is understood to be on a path toward redemption and eternal life. The term is not typically a formal title in most denominations, but it is used descriptively to discuss stages of religious conversion, commitment, or preparation for rites of initiation.

Etymology and meaning are straightforward: kandidat means candidate, til means for, and frelse means salvation. The concept reflects a central Christian idea that salvation involves deliverance from sin through faith, grace, and the work attributed to Christ. In many contexts, a person might be described as a candidate after receiving catechetical instruction, affirming belief, or preparing for rites such as baptism or confirmation. The phrase therefore serves as a literary or doctrinal way to talk about readiness rather than a fixed ecclesiastical status.

Usage and variation vary by language and tradition. Some circles may prefer terms such as catechumen, convert, or believer, while others may use the phrase casually in sermons or religious education to discuss spiritual preparedness. Because it is not a standardized denominational term, its exact meaning depends on context and the speaker’s theological emphasis.

Related concepts include conversion, justification, sanctification, and baptism.
