Some adhere to wearing a man-made piece of cloth known as the scapular to avoid the hell-fire. Perhaps you subscribe to that.
However, all that aside, you've not addressed the issue of the sufficiency of Christ to forgive ALL of our sins....hence no need for purgatory or the scapular or the miraculous medal, or the need to walk through the doors at the Vatican.
Rome advances the false idea of mortal sin as all sin separates us from God. The type of sin doesn't matter...all sin separates us.

No, I made my point. You are free to disagree. When you say Catholics have differing takes on Theology, I beg to differ. Catholics are obliged to hold to all Dogmas and Doctrines of the Catholic Church.
Where Catholics can have some disagreement and debate, but done with charity hopefully is on Authoritative Magisterium. That is the Pope and teachings that deal with Church Governance, disciplines, appointments of Bishops and Cardinals, practices, how Liturgy is celebrated or should be celebrated etc. Those are not binding on the faith, but require the assent of the mind and will. Still one is not required to agree with them but one should always be charitable and respectful with such disagreements and not run down to their local parish and create conflict and tension among their Catholic brothers and sisters.

Well let me put it to you this way, I am not going to fly to Rome n 2025 nor am I required to nor have to.
But if I struggle with some sin, which is highly probable, then I should respond to the Holy Spirit and go to the Sacrament of Confession and confess my sins by which God’s Grace forgives and restores me, etc.
I gather you are a Free grace protestant, yes or no?
I already dealt with the various types of sin in post 51 [Original, Unforgivable, Mortal and Venial].
So I will refer that post on that particular issue you raised.
I’m curious if you wear one of the scapulars and/or miraculous medal.
