Douay Rheims bible...
[1] Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God. [2] Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful. [3] But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man's day; but neither do I judge my own self. [4] For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord. [5] Therefore judge not before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise from God.

Your made up concoction
“I’m not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted.”
You might pull this off in a Catholic Church but not here...
Your made up concoction “I’m not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted.”
Paul will not be acquitted because he won't be on trial...
Paul was justified in Damascus...And there was no doubt in his mind...He was filled with the Spirit...If Paul would have been on trial he certainly would have been acquitted...The Lord had already judged Paul's heart and found him to be just/justified...
That's why Paul wasn't concerned with others judging him or even him judging himself...He was already standing on the plate...
My Bible Ignatius Catholic Study Bible states ‘acquitted’ and in the footnote or ‘justified’. The same meaning.
BUT YOUR QUOTE IN 385 STATES THE OPPOSITE.
“And Paul’s already been judged by the Lord and found to be just ...” Only after his death.
You were caught and then tried to blame it on the Catholic Church.
So you now acknowledge that we are justified upon our death by Jesus and not before.
