ah yes, but the priest can determine whether or not the person is sincere..

Horse hockey bro. When I went to confession, I lied to the priest regularly, cuz I didn’t want him getting his jollies, by prying into my mortal sins. He always “forgave” my sins, even though he wasn’t capable of forgiving me for chewing gum in catechism class.

Every Catholic I know who has been asked about confession, admits to not being honest with the priest.

You weren't, obviously a sincere Catholic.....if you can't handle the truth, what makes you think that the fly by night "denomination" that you joined will bring you salvation??????
