I have to second Simon, since I had characters who just finished the river of
cradles scenario, and had just
(caution , minor spoiler ahead)
succumbed to the corruption spell, I asked Greg at the Dollar auction how the cleansed one was cleansed, and got the answer back "I'm not sure that he was", which got a nod from Sandy.

My characters tried to get the character cleansed anyway, and since they had someone who could sense chaos, and were able to get Zola Fel's attention ( a bit of the right ritual and a very good roll by a trickster-ish character, who said "ha- Zola Fel can't clean chaos, Zola Fel couldn't even clean my shorts") the party ended up with a the chaotic person scrubbed until we was just bones, the trickster an albino, who has no scent, and is incapable of getting dirty, and the whole party was washed all the way back down to Corflu to find them face down in the mud again.)

The sub-cult of the cleansed one is now having trouble, and is mostly considered a heresy.

Actually, from the write-up of lead crosses in Plunder, it appears that the lead cross quest is not socially acceptable, even to most Humacti.
