"Catholics don’t believe the blood of Christ cleans us of all sins if we confess our sin...?

Catholics *do* believe the blood of Christ cleans us of all sins if we confess our sin...

Seriously.

And BBC is seriously annoying.

I take your word for it...

If what you claim is true, what's the purpose of indulgences... ? Purgatory is punishment, if your sins are forgiven, why are the Catholics being punished

If Roman Catholics believe this, then the concept of purgatory and the indulgences are a false teaching.

As would be the false teaching of wearing a piece of cloth or medal to avoid the hell-fire.
