A quick definition of sacramentum:

Term: SACRAMENTUM

Definition: A sacramentum is a type of oath that was taken by soldiers in ancient Rome when they enlisted in the army. It was a promise of loyalty and allegiance to the Roman state and its leaders.

A more thorough explanation:

SACRAMENTUM

Sacramentum is a Latin word that means "an oath." In Roman law, it has two meanings:

  1. It refers to a religious ceremony or rite, such as baptism or communion, that is believed to confer spiritual benefits on the participant.
  2. It also refers to an oath of allegiance given by a soldier upon enlistment.

One example of sacramentum is the sacrament of baptism in the Christian church. This is a religious ceremony in which a person is baptized with water to symbolize their spiritual rebirth.

Another example is the sacrament of communion, also known as the Eucharist. This is a religious ceremony in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed to symbolize the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

As for the second meaning, an example of sacramentum is the oath of loyalty that a Roman soldier would take upon joining the army. This oath was considered sacred and binding, and breaking it was a serious offense.

The examples illustrate the two different meanings of sacramentum. The first set of examples shows how sacramentum is used in a religious context to refer to sacred ceremonies or rites that are believed to have spiritual significance. The second example shows how sacramentum is used in a legal context to refer to an oath of loyalty that is considered binding and sacred.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
