I really have no desire to come back to the Catholic church. I am well versed in the Gospel and know that I am saved by Grace.

OSAS doesn’t fly too well with Christ.

What happens at the moment of your death and you haven’t gone to Confession for years — and thus, your sins are not forgiven and forgotten by God?

Your risk — one I would not take.

FYI -- your sins are forgiven by GOD in Confession and you know they are forgiven and forgotten!

 
enter the Table of Contents of the Catechism of the Catholic Church here
1449 The formula of absolution used in the Latin Church expresses the essential elements of this sacrament: the Father of mercies is the source of all forgiveness. He effects the reconciliation of sinners through the Passover of his Son and the gift of his Spirit, through the prayer and ministry of the Church:
God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and the resurrection of his Son
has reconciled the world to himself
and sent the Holy Spirit among us
for the forgiveness of sins;
through the ministry of the Church
may God give you pardon and peace,
and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
