Forum:Effects of Qlis and their categories

I do have a question concerning Qlis and their effects. All Qli pendulum monsters share these 2 effects:

(1) If this card is normal summoned without tributing, or is special summoned, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800.

(2) If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by activated card effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card current level.

According to this wiki, effect (1) is said to be unclassified, effect (2) is a continuous one.

Assume Re-Qliate to be on the field. Normal summoning without tribute leads to effect (1) anhttp://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Effects_of_Qlis_and_their_categories?action=edit#d (2), Re-Qliate will negate effect (1) and (2), so, there will be a monster with 2400/1000 or 2800/1000 and no effects.

End Phase.

The next turn.

The effect negation of Re-Qliate stopps applying. Effect (1) will not start to apply, because it is unclassified. Effect (2) will start applying, since it is continuous.

I do understand this. But, the question is how to tell, that effect (1) is unclassified, while (2) is continuous? Both do have the structure of continuous effects (no colon or semicolon).
