We extend to its spin-3/2 supersymmetric partner the very recent demonstration that the massless limit of massive spin-2 exchange amplitudes can be made continuous in background AdS spaces, in contrast to the known flat space discontinuities for both systems. In an AdS background, unlike spin-2 where the limit m --> 0 is the massless one, spin-3/2 masslessness requires m --> root-Lambda /3. the supergravity value tuning the mass and cosmological constant that uniquely provides gauge invariance and two helicities. We find that continuity of the spin-3/2-mediated exchange amplitude can be regained in two massless limits m --> 0 and m --> root-Lambda /3; only the latter corresponds to cosmological supergravity.
