redeemer

One who redeems, qui redimit, etc. (☞ Redemtor in this sense is not classical): liberator: vindex.

The Saviour of the world, Servator (better than Salvator); or perhaps it may be necessary to retain the word Redemtor, or Salvator (ecclesiastical: mundi redemtor, Fulgent.), as technical term. Muretus says Jesus Christus, humani generis assertor; or it may be classical to say Christus vindex periculi nostri (after Liv., 10, 5).
