You want to mince words now?

Yes because words actually mean things., and frankly no matter what the Catholics say the prots will twist them.

That is why I posed the question since there can BE no Purgatory for a person with unconfessed, unrepented, un-penanced mortal sin - they go straight to hell. Has this doctrine now changed in Catholicism or is it still the case?

I posted the pertinent /relevant quotes from the CCC feel free to read it.

Indeed! Words DO mean things which is why I specifically said a person "who died with mortal sin on his soul" would go straight to hell per the RC catechism - as I posted from CCC. Did you read it? I was surprised that you apparently didn't comprehend my words and presumed I needed "correction". It appears that Catholics do plenty of word twisting all on their own! Perhaps the thrill of showing up a "prot" overcomes the importance of understanding what the person is actually saying.

And just to be more clear...I think the idea of Purgatory and the difference between "venial" and "mortal" sins is a crock. It negates far more Scriptural truths than confirms. One of many examples of how Roman Catholicism has lost the truth of the gospel it might have once had.
