Cornelius the Centurion

Devout Gentile who feared God with all his house; gave much alms and prayed always; sees a vision telling him to send for Peter; calls his kinsmen and near friends to hear what Peter will say; Spirit falls on all of them; baptized. Failure mode: None recorded. Restoration path: Pray always, give alms; send for the word; gather your house to receive what you receive. Markers: devout but outside the covenant; alms and prayer accepted as memorial; specific instruction received in vision; gathers his house for the hearing; Spirit falls on all who hear
