many of the threads that pertain to the Catholic faith have been side-tracked

Absolutely. I don't mind explaining the Catholic faith to anyone with questions, but all too often the threads deteriorate into a noisy and unproductive discussion of fundamentals of the faith and a more sophisticated topics get drowned out.

Sin is something all Christians believe in and have an interest in avoiding. I'd be curious to see how one who holds the sola fide views explains the phenomenon of sin and interprets the scriptural commandment to confess sins. But I am not interested in discussing sola fide per se, because I think everyone has already given these fundamentals a sufficient amount of thought and the discussion on sola fide will easily go hundreds of posts unrelated to sin and confession, and not breaking any new theological grounds on sola fide either.
