A person indwelt by the Holy Spirit cannot commit a mortal sin. The only mortal sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit prior to being saved.

Well, the Catholic church teaches that there are different grades of sin, mortal and venial.

I’m curious just where in Scripture the Catholic church finds this distinction made and would like the Scriptural support for it.
