“Once again — WE ALL have to do our part.”

Here, while you’re working your way to Heaven........

“and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; Isa 64:6

or
“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With
that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. ...” John 19:30

I guess that wasn’t good enough for you. YOU are going to present God with your Bill and say “Ok,- Pay - up Lord”

Thanks for making my point. If the Catholic Church ever preached Salvation they would put themselves right out of a job in the Confessional Booth.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me” John 14:6

Like I said “ You don’t have to get cleaned up to take a bath. Let God be God......please.

I’m not making your point. The Good Thief asked for forgiveness. Jesus gave it to him.

Are you saying that Jesus doesn’t forgive anyone?

I don't think you are that familiar with the Words of Absolution that the priest says. Do you know who forgives your sins in Confession/Sacrament of Penance?

Catechism of the Catholic Church

 

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.
