 Personal corruption, i.e., the state of having been corrupted, is not the same thing as performing a corrupt action, i.e., being a corruptor. Typically, corruptors are themselves corrupted, but this is not necessarily the case. Consider, for example, a parent who pays a one-off bribe to an immigration official in order to be reunited with her child. The parent is a corruptor by virtue of performing a corrupt action, but she is not necessarily corrupted by her, let us assume, morally justifiable action.
