In other words...the person can appeal straight to God for forgiveness of the sin and expect that sin to be forgiven.

In other words....New Testament Christianity.

It is what Christians have believed based on what John wrote......9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 NASB

We can appeal straight to Christ for the forgiveness of our sins and expect He will forgive us of our sins.
