You can know, You just have to ask Jesus to forgive you, like the theif on the cross (next to Jesus), there is no “achieving it”..
I don’t care about Catholic or protestant tradition, I care about what God actually tells us, and how to be saved.
Please there is nothing more important, and if you don’t rely upon what God actually said, then you will not recieve His life! I know that you want to be saved, it doesn’t mean you have to stop being a Catholic, but you don’t need to wait and hope that you make it. You can know, just as you can know God’s grace, without it, there is no forgiveness of sin.
Romans 4:5
But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
On this we agree.
