Neville recalls his Christian upbringing before Scripture happened within him

Neville recalls hearing the Gospel story as a child, taught by his mother and repeated at school, accepting it as his faith until it actually happened in him and he had to reinterpret Scripture from his own experience.

    Reasoning The passage states only that Neville heard the Gospel story 'as a child'; it never gives years. The existing claim's 1905-1923 range is derived by combining that phrase with Neville's birth anchor (hist_event 950, 1905-02-19) and an assumed end of childhood - a worked-out inference, not something the source states outright - so it should be typed estimated rather than stated. Date range and confidence are unchanged from the existing claim; only the type is corrected.
