There is no ignorance involved, in seeking to adhere to the clear, Biblical role that Jesus Christ alone plays in Redemption.

I'd be interested in seeing the dictionary that defines the prefix "co-" as somehow not involved, a mere bystander. The basic understanding that every dictionary I've ever encountered is something along the lines of;

co-
prefix 

1. together; joint or jointly; mutual or mutually; coproduction 

2. indicating partnership or equality; cofounder, copilot

3. to the same or a similar degree; coextend

4. (in mathematics and astronomy) of the complement of an angle; cosecant, codeclination

(from Latin, reduced form of com-)

It is also not correct to state that the prefix “co-” is derived from the Latin “cum.”

“Co-” is a Latin prefix on its own and can imply subservience, authority or parity, depending on the word to which it is attached and the context of the statement.
