**Also called attrition, imperfect contrition is sufficient for remission of sin in the sacrament of penance. It is also adequate for a valid and fruitful reception of baptism by one who has reached the age of reason. And if a person is unable to go to confession, imperfect contrition remits even grave sin through the sacrament of anointing of the sick.**

Hooray for the Sacrament of Penance! And for the Sacraments of Baptism and Anointing of the Sick!

Otherwise ?????

What about imperfect contrition at the moment of death?
