indefectible

Immune to fault

Indefectible means incapable of failing or being flawed.

The term appears most often in theological contexts, describing something that cannot fall away from truth or grace: the indefectible authority of the Church.

More broadly, it describes anything unfailing or immune to defect: an indefectible commitment to justice.

The word is formal and rare outside religious or philosophical writing.
