unindoctrinated

Free from dogma

Unindoctrinated describes someone who has not been taught to accept a particular set of beliefs uncritically.

The term often carries positive connotations, suggesting a mind that remains open or unbiased: The unindoctrinated newcomers asked questions the veterans had stopped thinking about.

It can also simply mean untrained in a specific doctrine or ideology, without judgment about whether such training would be beneficial or harmful.
