So, in whatever flavor of “religion” you claim, do you still believe in mortal sins.

And if so, have any changed?

Since I am no longer in that other religion, my views have changed. I consider ALL sins to be mortal sins, like when Adam and Eve committed that one, tiny little, seemingly inconsequential sin. It turned out to be a "mortal sin." Every single, solitary sin ever committed, is a "mortal sin." There are no degrees of sin. Sin is sin is sin is sin. Some sins have greater consequences, but sin is sin.
Since I doubt any of us are going to try to blow smoke and try to BS anyone, and claim we don't sin, all it takes to send someone to Hell, is one tiny, little, seemingly inconsequential sin. Since we are all under the same condemnation, I just wonder how some people intend to try to bluff their way into Heaven? It would be interesting to know.

To whom do you confess your sins? And who forgives or retains them?

Or are you another cherry-picker of the Bible?

[23] Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. John Chapter 20.
