What would a Christian-Shinto Merger look like in an early POD?

This involves a little bit of hand waving but not much. Assume if you will that when Christianity first comes to Japan the Missionaries decide to take a proselytizing and syncretic approach to thier mission similar to the Buddhists. After the missionaries start being replaced by home grown pastors the approach is solidified. You could say Francis Xavier or possibly some earlier missionary writes some letters or some such thing that influences others.

Taking this into account what do you think it would like? What are some ways you can see Christianity being molded and vice versa? Would this approach be more successful in so much as at least not being banned from the islands? (That one depends on a shimabara rebellion or not)

A lot of kami get modded as Saints.

Probably ratherly angels since Saints were originally normal humans. But with my knowledge Kamis are some supernatural spirits so it wouldn't exactly work.

But perhaps emperor is seen as descendant of Jesus.

I think saints, not angels. There is precedent for it. All it means as you just construe the spirit as someone who lived in the past, and voila
