I'm sure the RCs have a number for this.

In either case, it misses the point as all sin separates us from God.

Rome seems to overlook Romans 4:7-8

7“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.

8“BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”

It sounds funnier if St Peter is using Hillary’s lie meter as a ceiling fan.
