a) I didn’t blame JUST catholics but all denominations as they all have peculiar rules, many of which are not Biblical. But, for example, catholics worship the dead, in particular, Mary, which is UNBiblical and God calls an abomination. They also confess their sins to the priest when we are to go directly to our God in Heaven for all of our needs. Priests are old testament which ended when Jesus Christ became our High Priest.

b)every Christian does NOT belong to a denomination as many of us only worship our God in Heaven through His Son Jesus Christ and use the Bible as our guide

catholics worship the dead, in particular, Mary

I assume that many Catholics have already told you, over the years, that we do not "worship" Mary, we revere her.

Catholics are always correcting that accusation, yet the accusation persists.

So then what was the point of Jesus telling the Disciples to forgive/retain sins?
