The Latin catechism of the Roman Catholic Church refers to Satan as angelus lapsus, from the Latin verb labi, "to slip", which can have the connotation "to slip into error".

The verbs cadere "to fall" and excidere "to fall out" are used in St. Jerome's Vulgate Bible to render the idea of both physical and moral falling (e.g., Galatians expresses "you have fallen from grace" as a gratia excidistis), but these verbs, unlike labi, have no past participle.

Taking our cue from the Catholic Church, we can translate "I am the fallen angel" as Angelus lapsus sum.
