Repentance is necessary to take on life long true faith. It is not something we do piecemeal to satisfy a debt for each of our sins along the way.

Repentance is not a satisfying of a debt. That is your legal idea of your relationship with God coming to the forefront again. Our relationship with God is familial, thus, there is not a "debt satisfaction" when we repent.

It has nothing to do with MY relationship with God. Since you believe that each mortal sin yanks you out of Heaven again, I surmised that you must think that repentance for each settles the score so that you can once again gain entry. How is this NOT a "debt satisfaction"?
