Decline evil calls (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drops in

'calls' is the definition.
(dropping in is a kind of calling)

'decline evil' is the wordplay.
'decline' becomes 'drop' (dropping is a kind of declining**).
'evil' becomes 'sin' (I've seen this before).
'drop'+'sin'='DROPS IN'

(Other definitions for drops in that I've seen before include "Comes to see" , "Calls casually" , "eye thus getting less inflamed?" , "Casually visits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
