Why does someone who doesn’t know if they will die in the state of grace rely on man made assurance of salvation instead of the Sacrament of Reconciliation that provides absolution from sins that was authorized by Jesus Christ?

All believers are in God's grace, all the time.

Grace is not grace if it's earned or merited.

Absolution from sins, by a fallible, corrupt, likely immoral human being who may have been molesting kids the day before, or providing cover for said molesters?

Why would I go to the likes of cocaine using, homosexual, pedophile Catholic clergy for any spiritual guidance?

That'd be like going to a pusher for cancer treatment.

It’s the conjuctions that the RCC cannot get past
The “if, and, or, but, however”, etc.

That junction functions as a clever weigh station for rejecting God’s word for man’s doctrines.
