How to Change Religious Status on Profile?

Crastinus

Protestant
Heritage
In September 2024 I was confirmed into the Lutheran(LCMS) church, but for the life of me I can not figure out how to change the Religion tag in my profile from Other Christian, to Protestant. While this isn't really a big deal for me in particular, it does prevent me from interacting in the Protestant subforum. Can anyone give me some assistance? Am I missing something obvious here, or do I need to DM a mod?
 
I wanted to make a post in the Christianity general forum to seek advice for finding a church, but I have not set a religion, and I am not associated with any particular religion, more fringe/areligious. I also don't even know where to find mods. Can someone please assist or just give me temporary posting rights in that board?
 
I've noticed a few new users who have no religious affiliation attached to their profile. What up with that?
Religion is a required field when signing up so everyone should have one defined. We need to keep this in mind and look at it when approving new members and assign something if needed. I will look at the new user registration workflow to see if it needs to be improved and also look for users without a religion defined and figure out what to do about them.

@Servant of Christ is working on these issues as we speak. He was busy over lent so it kinda got neglected but it's not a big deal.
I'm sorry for this. The entire site permissions needs an overhaul and I have been hesitant to open that can of worms because once I start I have to finish or the site will be broken. So I've been trying to find some time and motivation to sit down and spend an entire day fixing it. It's on my list and I will get to it sooner or later. I don't mean to sound like it isn't important because it is, but just trying to be realistic as I have a full time career, family, church, and other responsibilities. It'll get done, though.
