NSManagedObject property managedObjectContext has no value

In my code, I am trying to access [NSManagedObject managedObjectContext] but surprisingly it returns nil. The managed object is loaded because I already successfully accessed it's values using [NSManagedObject valueForKey:]. Is there any case where managedObjectContext returns nil?

Official documentation says:

May be nil if the receiver has been deleted from its context. If the receiver is a fault, accessing this property does not cause it to fire.

I may be wrong, but for me managedObjectContext was also set to nil for NSManagedObject, when this object was turned into a fault, and I didn't have strong reference to its context.

If you initialize a managed object directly using init without inserting it into a context, then it may have a nil context. If you insert it and pass a nil value for the context, it will have a nil context.
