This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Inside Mormon's epistle to Moroni (Moroni 8:1, 'An epistle of my father Mormon, written to me, Moroni'), having cleared little children from the baptism requirement, Mormon states the requirement itself as an ordered chain -- an ordo salutis. The near-end is 8:25 -- the clearest SINGLE-verse statement of the ordered sequence: the 'first fruits of repentance is baptism; and baptism cometh by faith… unto the fulfilling the commandments; and the fulfilling the commandments bringeth remission of sins' cascade IS the ordo (faith -> baptism -> keeping commandments -> remission). 8:26 continues the chain (remission -> meekness/lowliness -> the visitation of the Holy Ghost -> hope/perfect love -> love 'endureth… until the end shall come') and is carried in the note as the completion, but 8:25 carries the load-bearing ordered-chain form. The far end is 27:16 (chosen over 27:19; the 27:16-20 chain carried in-note): 27:16 ('whoso repenteth and is baptized in my name shall be filled; and if he endureth to the end') is the visitation's most COMPACT gospel-chain verse -- repent -> baptize -> be filled (with the Holy Ghost) -> endure -- matching Mormon's faith/baptism/remission/Holy-Ghost/endurance ordo link for link. 27:19 ('washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end') carries faith/repentance/endurance but not the baptism->Holy-Ghost core, so it is the runner-up, carried in-note with 27:20 as the 27:16-20 chain. Distinct verse-pair from moro-doc-cited-command (Moroni 7:34 <-> 3 Nephi 27:20): different near-end AND different far-end. The type is paraphrase (not shared-phrasing): the two build the same ordered sequence but share no distinctive multi-word verbatim string; Mormon's 'bringeth… bringeth' cascade is his own idiom. Nearest verbal contact is Moroni 8:26 'which Comforter filleth with hope and perfect love' <-> 27:16 'shall be filled' -- a single inflected word, not a phrase; the match is the ORDO, not a string.
