Further, once the sin is absolved, the penitent can receive Communion and that restores the spiritual loss he suffered:

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. (John 6)

And he eats, and eats, and eats, and eats...How long does the penitant remain spiritual??? Matthew says it goes in one end and out the other...

How long does this eaten spirituality last???

I thank God that He sacrificed Himself ONCE...That's all it took for me...One Sacrifice...One time...I'm good to go...

And he eats, and eats

Yes. Weekly, if at all possible; daily if necessary. "As often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until he come" (1 Cor 11). It pleased Christ to give us a way to daily communicate with Him.
