respecter
Person showing deference
A respecter is one who shows regard or deference, almost always appearing in the negative phrase no respecter of persons—meaning someone or something that treats all people equally, without favoritism based on status or rank.
Death is no respecter of persons; neither is the law, ideally.
The positive form is rare outside biblical or formal contexts.
