You reject the Sacrament of Confession, that's in the New Testament.

We reject what the Catholic church calls as confession as there is NO precedent for it as the Catholic church practices it anywhere in the NT.

And admonition of confessing out sins to each other does not mean going to a separated priestly class to do it nor is there any instruction for the whole confessional thing.

we believe in going to the person we wronged to ask them to forgive us, not anonymously going to a third party and telling them about it and never making it right with the party we wronged.

That's the cowardly way out. It's MUCH harder to confess to the person we wronged face to face and admit that we wronged them and ask them to forgive us for it.

The problem a lot of Catholics have is conflating rejection of the false teachings of Catholicism with rejection of God.

Not the same thing at all.

I'm getting tired of "We". Who exactly is we and are you their spokesman?

Is "we" all people (aka heretics) who claim to be Christians yet reject the Church He established?
