If I understand roman catholicism correctly.....if you commit a "mortal" sin without benefit of being forgiven by the priest....then too bad.

You're consigned to an eternity in Hell??

Can you in any way square that away with the two verses I posted from John and Ephesians?

[Arthur McGowan]

Easily. A person who commits a mortal sin is REJECTING the grace offered to him by God.

You’re not going to say that Scripture teaches that people who REJECT Jesus Christ are going to Heaven, are you?

So your answer is a yes on this one??
