"They say," ventured Conan cautiously, "even babes unborn are rotten with the sin of Adam, and fallen with him."
"And I say that it's only his own deeds, bad and good, that a man will have to answer for in the judgment, and that's what will save or damn him. Though it's not often I've known a man so bad as to make me believe in damnation," said Elave, still absorbed in his own reasoning, and intent only on expressing himself clearly and simply, without suspicious of hostility or danger. "There was a father of the Church, once, as I heard tell, in Alexandria, who held that in the end everyone would find salvation. Even the fallen angels would return to their fealty, even the devil would repent and make his way back to God."

This book examines what true piety is. The main character is the apprentice of a man, now dead, who is suddenly accused of having been a heretic.
In this book, Edith Pargeter (aka Ellis Peters), through her hero Brother Cadfael, examines where heresy overlaps with true inquiry. Her characters are vindicated for pondering the mysteries of Christianity, including the trinity.

Beautiful. The character does not know he is endangering himself with these heretical words. But the novel vindicates him, that he cares for the babies and the adults, shriven or no.
