I understand quite well the catholic belief of confession it is not biblical and erroneous I do think PUBLIC confession together in a group of believers is beneficial and do it every Sunday in services
Confessing in private to a man and having that person pronounce judgement and penance is not biblical, can be very harmful and most definitely not necessary for salvation. It Is a system that easily lends itself to abuse. And I don’t care how many Hail Marys you say the only way to have sin forgiven is to confess directly to Christ and accept His grace No amount of earthly imposed rules will suffice
