I have come into question, as I understand that it is a symbol, but it says in my study bible that it is not intended to be taken as a ritual or rite, which I understand, but if it is not a ritual, what is it? I don't understand enough to even fully understand my own question, tbh.
(and there's a reason it's not in BDF, I've asked questions like that before, but they always turn into debates about my salvation status, not answers.)
