English translation:A unrepentant incomplete confessant
Explanation:
Buscando por entradas que tivessem valores históricos semelhantes a explicação dada para o termo em português, encontrei um livro que trata do mesmo assunto vertido para o inglês. Na obra "The Marrano Factory: The Portuguese Inquisition and its New Christians 1536-1765, de António José Saraiva, e traduzido por H.P. Salomon and I.S.D Sassoon, os dois sintagmas aparecem separados na mesma frase (página 93; parágrafo 4), e indicados em português com as suas respectivas versões (ou explicações) em inglês e entre parênteses.
