Well; to balance the record; many Prots in these threads have said essentially the same about Catholics: Just go to the priest and say a few Hail Marys and yer good to go again.

Except that us former Catholics KNOW it's true.

Ask around.......

A truism if there ever was one. When I went to confession, and told the priest my sins, he would give me 5 our fathers and 5 hail Mary's. I called it the 5 squared rule. Of course, I would usually not tell the priest about the more juicy and racy sins. I didn't want to embarrass him or me. I guess maybe I committed a mortal sin of sacrilege. Oh well, I just wasn't going to spill the beans. I would get my salvation back, then walk out the door and lose my salvation in less than 5 minutes. It seemed like I was on a treadmill, but now I don't do that type of confession thing anymore. It's against my religion. 😂😇

No it isn't.
