As an example, the individuals killed in Salem were not witches. They adamantly, unto death, proclaimed their belief in Christ and their Christianity. Again, unto death. It was the lying girls who made the claims that these individuals were witches, and who proved to be in witchcraft themselves. Salem was a case of the “witches” killing Christians, using deceit, for personal reasons. But HISTORY states that it was a case of Christians killing witches.

True. At that time anyone who was accused, and admitted to being a witch was fined and maybe whipped then let go.
Anyone who was accused of witchcraft but denied being one was tried on “specreal evidence”, and when found guilty were hanged.
If you were arrested for being a witch, when you entered a plea of guilty or not guilty, the sherrif would seize your property and lands.
One man accused of withcraft refused to make a plea, so they laid him down, put a door on him and pressed him with rocks trying to get a plea so they could seize his property. All he would say was “More weight!”. When he died from this his lands and property could not be confiscated from his family as he had not made a plea.
