The word "substitution," though, does not, in the context of historical Christianity, say anything different than the word "sacrifice." People of the Anselm model use the word "substitution" or at least its meaning when they talk about Christ's propitiatory sacrifice. They mean that he takes the place of them who deserve the wages of sin. They therefore usse "substitution" in a way that presupposes that man must satisfy the justice of God; man cannot, but Christ can; Christ is man's substitute.

"Substitution" can work in the way you mean it, but in itself it doesn't express Girard's meaning any better than "sacrifice," because both of these words are used almost interchangeably by historical Christianity.
