Mm sorta. Ephemeral just means a person who will eventually die naturally and not continue their life in vert and even then it gets weird to define in later books because they find that a booted copy of someone living deviates from their normal personality but if a person dies and then a copy is booted the copy ends up picking up the personality of the deceased without changes implying some form of soul and continuity after death.

In Dennis Taylor’s “Bobiverse” series, natural born humans are called “ephemerals”

Yeah sorry, I just didn’t want to go that much in depth to explain a humorous slur robots might give us humans

“Faith” are the skinbag luddites in the bobiverse. Other bio lifeforms are not seen as a problem, whether they upload or not.

One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…
