Reindoctrinating Ferox

[Jozxyqk]

First of all, if you play Reindoctrination, it does not change the sect
of the target Gargoyle.
That is, if Ian Forestal played Reindoctrinatin on Ferox, Ferox would
become an Independent Tremere Antitribu Slave.
Is this Correct? (Looks like it is, from card text)

But what would happen if Ferox was then Merged?
His Advanced version is not a slave (obviously). But does this "undo"
Reindoctrination's slave status? (Again, I assume that he would continue
to be a Slave, since no card text contradicts it, but I am just making
sure)

Sounds like it, yes. Of course you could also have an Independent
Tremere Antitribu Slave if Pugfar went Anarch.

Yes, the Merged Ferox would remain Slave. On a similar note, if Ferox
had received any other trait (Black Hand, Infernal, Red List, Sterile,
etc.), merging him would not "undo" that either.

Correct.

Correct. The Advanced/Merged text takes precedence over conflicting
base text. But there's no conflict here.
