limbo
In Christian theology, a region for the souls of those who were not admitted to the divine vision. Limbus infantum was a place where unbaptized infants enjoyed inferior blessedness, and limbus patrum was where the prophets of the Old Testament dwelt. The word was first used in this sense in the 13th century by Thomas Aquinas.
