"The soul is immortal, and all souls are alike both of men and women"

"The soul is immortal, and all souls are alike both of men and women; for only members of the body are distinguished. There is not a class of souls sinning by nature, and a class of souls practising righteousness by nature: but both act from choice, the substance of their souls being of one kind only, and alike in all." (Cyril of Jerusalem, Cat.)
