IF as these Romanists insist, its not good enough to confess ones sins to God, that an ordained Roman Catholic Priest MUST give absolution, THEN not one "Christian" (by that I mean a Protestant) who's never confessed to a priest has had any of his sins forgiven--indeed, they are by definition not even Christians at all... They (we) are by definition left in our sins--and Christ and his blood alone is not enough (without that pesky Priest to dole out forgiveness to us...).
WOW! That must me no Protestant will ever even make it to Purgatory, let alone Heaven!
Funny thing is though, in spite of the perfect logic of our entire lack of forgiveness, that's not what the Pope or the Roman Church at large teaches (anymore) is it?
Or do the Romanists here disagree with the Roman Church and want to say those of us who trust Jesus alone are not even Christians and have no hope of Heaven?
No this is not true. When NC's confess thier sins directly to God, out of pure sorrow for having offended him (not just because of fearing hell) then your sins are forgiven. I don't have time to explain further. But it is not true at all that your sins are never forgiven if you don't confess them to a priest. Maybe someone else can elaborate.
