If I believe in God with all my heart yet am skeptical of the Trinity am I destined to Hell?

1037 God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":

Oh, I missed this. Please note the Catechism below:

This catechism makes no sense at all. Please note that 1) if God does not predestined anyone to hell, and 2) that man does not repent, then 3) where is that person bound for? It assumes that man naturally wants to seek after God which is totally contrary to Romans 3.

All people are sinners and therefore bound for hell. Just by the very term that means we are already predestined to go to hell. God saves us from our fate.

You say you’re skeptical on the trinity?

Did you ever here of the Kenotic Hymn ? It was written before the Gospels, and sang by the early Christians.
It is said that this hymn is an early liturgical creed that Saint Paul used in writing of 2 Phillipians 5-11

Here is an excerpt of the Hymn

“Humbled for a season,
to receive a Name
from the lips of sinners,
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed;

Bore it up triumphant,
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father’s breast;
filled it with the glory
of that perfect rest.

Name him, brothers, name him,
with love as strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath;
HE IS GOD THE SAVIOUR,
HE IS CHIRST THE LORD,
ever to be worshiped,
trusted, and adored.”

Philippians 2:6 Says “Who being in the form of God,thought it not robbery to be equal with God.”

This is because our Blessed Lord is God.

I wish you a Blessed Evening!
