Only you can answer the question about being bound for eternal life or eternal damnation.

If you die with a mortal sin on your soul — without having gone to the Sacrament of Penance/Confession and repented of it — then it is your choice.

FYI, once you have confessed your sins and been forgiven by GOD in the Sacrament of Penance, God forgets that sin.

Do you know the actual words of absolution?

“Only you can answer the question about being bound for eternal life or eternal damnation.”

Again I am telling you Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord, and I am indwelt by His Spirit. I know without a doubt that my future is life in the glorious presence of Christ for all eternity - not because of what I have done but because of what He has done. If I am not, and never will be Catholic, what does YOUR theology teach about my salvation?

So, are you saying that I need the “Sacrament of Penance/Confession” - presumably only in a Catholic church - and specific words of absolution - in order to be saved?

What if I have truly confessed my sinfulness and and received God’s forgiveness through the substitionary atonement of Jesus Christ - yet not in a Catholic church?

Exodus 33:19 would imply that they aren’t necessary.
