So, in your book, the man who lives a horrible life but then repents before death goes to Heaven.

However, the man who lives a very good life, for most of his time on Earth, but then dies while in the act of sin, that man goes to Hell with no recourse?

My God is more just and fair, than that.

Ah, Nope. Didn’t say that. What is sin? What does the word actually mean? I didn’t say that the man who sins before death goes to Hell without recourse. In the Roman Catholic Church Hell is different from Purgatory. You have a chance of getting out of Purgatory with the prayers of the living according to Maccabees. I’m saying that it’s the Grace of God and your belief in Jesus that saves you. Think of the parable of the vineyard workers. The wages are the same regardless of what time you showed up for work.
