Yep as you can see that is how it is explained by the OCA site...It is mentioned. The idea of "payment" is NOT legalistic just an "example" of what Christ did to save us. Now someone can take this to the extreme and come up with a diviation of what it truly means...Same it can be said about the Theotokos cause our hymnology can be missunderstood
