You did not answer the question. It is not a simple matter. Is the forgiveness denied tot he person BEFORE salvation? Or is it after salvation? Conflating these two dispositions before God is the point of the questions you are avoiding. The Catholic means to salvation is an ongoing process draped with sacraments, following the sacramental trail as it were to 'obtain salvation'. So, if a person on this trail fails to forgive someone in this life, will they be denied forgiveness?

I'll anticipate your Catholic answer to include some plea to purgatory for 'cleansing' so the person once at the finish line of salvation trail can then eventually enter Heaven. Is that an accurate portrayal of how one who does not forgive others yet is following sacramental trail arrives at salvation entry into Heaven?

It is not a simple matter. Is the forgiveness denied tot he person BEFORE salvation?

How can there be forgiveness without salvation or salvation without forgiveness?

The better question is whether the person denying forgiveness is denied salvation.
