contents This work is a collection of initial calculations and formal considerations within the Salpeter-Sucher exact equal-time relativistic quantum electrodynamics framework. The calculations are carried out as preparation for the computation of pair, retardation, and radiative corrections to the relativistic energy of correlated two-spin-1/2-fermion systems. In this work, particular attention is paid to the retardation and the `one-loop' self-energy corrections, which are known to be among the largest corrections to the correlated relativistic energy. The theoretical development is supplemented with identifying formal connections to the non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics framework, which is based on a correlated but non-relativistic reference, as well as to the `$1/Z$ approach', which is built on a relativistic but independent-particle zeroth order. The two complementary directions currently provide the theoretical framework for light atomic-molecular precision spectroscopy and heavy-atom phenomena. The present theoretical efforts pave the way for relativistic QED corrections to (explicitly) correlated relativistic computations.
