I hope people pray and make sacrifices for me, and have Masses said, as well, either now or after I die, so I won’t be there as long, if I make it! But I never take my salvation for granted! I try my best to avoid hell by not falling into mortal sin, and going to Confession asap if I do!

Does it ever occur to people that there is something the matter with a “purification process if one can buy their way out?

Isn't Jesus' death on the cross enough to pay for your sins?

But I never take my salvation for granted!

Nobody ought to although I don't doubt some people do. But not anyone I know. We all know what we were saved from both in this life and the next.

I try my best to avoid hell by not falling into mortal sin, and going to Confession asap if I do!

All sins damns. If you sinned only ONE sin in your entire life, you would still go to hell.

Adam and Eve sinned only one sin and it brought sin into the world and condemned them and caused God to promise a redeemer.

There is NOTHING that we can do to make us good enough for heaven. Works don't do it and avoiding as much sin as possible doesn't do it.

So it's by your efforts that you attain heaven?

....”so I won’t be there as long, ‘if’ I make it! But I never take my salvation for granted!”....

Your post reflects clearly your limited understanding of what salvation is....if you understood it you could not have written what you have.
