The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
The most frightening Denarian yet?
Rasins:
I believe that the protection of Michael at the Masquerade would have happened if he'd been in Armor or naked. That was an example of Michael's faith protecting him, literally.

Can't agree with that, it's never happened before or after, just the one time he was in full crusader garb. Which generally includes a cross on the cloth, but not on the mail plate itself. I'd find it nearly impossible to believe that's not an article of faith for him with the history behind it.
--- Quote ---Minor context nitpick: It was Shagnasty who mentioned using Soulfire without Faith, Namsiel was just pissed that an "arrogant little monkey" presumed to use it at all.

Oops, your right of course. I had th right book, but the only connecters to the scene in my mind was, 1 vs an angelic entity 2 he'd already gotten his ass kicked before the now standardized reversal. Shagnasty it was though.

But we know that the crosses wont have any impact on a vampire if there isn't faith behind it. That's why Harry's Pentacle works, but a cross wouldn't for him.
It's the faith behind it that is the power ... the protection. Not the implement itself. That's why Michael's faith is his protection, not the armor.

His faith in the armor in this case though. Notice it doesn't happen any other time, literally ever. Armor or not, except the one time right after they address the fact he's wearing garb from a crusader? That seems a more direct intention to showcase it from the Doyalist perspective. Heck it could have been her admitted belief that's what he appeared to be. His skins not bio-electrically faith charged that we've ever seen though. That be like the one in a million time spider-man can suddenly lift a bus when canonically he can only lift a van.
