You got it.  The grep checks for that which is an object (nearly, but
I wouldn't want to question the infalibility of the Church.  So a few
true believers accidentally go to Hell.  C'est le guierre.  It misses
objects of the UNIVERSAL class, but then again... Universalists aren't
of the True Faith anyway.)  Objects are blessed.  Blessed are the
children of God.  The children of God are His own.
