perfecter

Brings to completion

Perfecter is one who perfects—someone who brings something to completion or improves it toward an ideal state.

The word appears most often in religious contexts, particularly describing Christ as the author and perfecter of our faith.

Outside theological use, perfecter is rare; most writers choose alternatives like improver or refiner.
