Now, if there were no Sacrament of Penance, or Confession,

There is no sacrament of penance.

Jesus never taught that someone had to work off their sin debt to be forgiven.

Because by it's very nature, forgiveness is a GIFT.

If it's paid for, then it's a debt paid and there's no forgiveness.

Catholics clearly don't understand what forgiveness is about.

It's being released form a debt owed with NO consequences or restitution required. Free and clear.
