Re: Exemplary
I don't think you would find believers claiming exemplary moral character. Quite the opposite in fact. Believers claim (or rather accept) that morally they are quite bankrupt.
​
In some cases it is false modesty. They say they are no better than the sinner and "there but for the grace of God...etc" but that in fact can reflect a condescending attitude.
