Oh I heard “This is My Body, which will be given up for you,” but was unfamiliar with “we have all sinned and all fall short of the glory of God” and if we repent and trust in Jesus Christ, we can be justified and made righteous in the eyes of God. I went to confession and was told to pray 50 hail marys to make up for my sins, when Jesus did it all. I was told to be a good person, when that’s impossible. I was told that if I wasn’t good enough in this life, that I could work it off in purgatory. All these things are false. I will be justified by the blood of Jesus Christ. His work was enough to cover all sins. He, who knew no sin became sin so that we might become His righteousness. And yes it is sad that in 12 years, nobody told me the whole story.

You thought that Catholics taught the sacraments because we were all free from sin?

Superficial.
