“That’s something that Catholics just don’t get. If you have to pay for your sin, you’ll be paying for all eternity because THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
Forgiveness is forgiveness. There is no more sin to pay for with forgiveness. It’s a gift offered freely to us for the taking.”

Taking part of a Scripture verse to profess a falsehood?
Pretty vague besides, whatever, it’s not true. Salvation isn’t a free gift, God’s grace is.
What about your serious sins committed today or yesterday?

Holiness Is Not An Option, It Is A Requirement For Entry Into Paradise
My Children,
I Am that I Am. I Am the Alpha and the Omega. I Am. Rejoice. I come before you in glory. I desire to instruct you for you are mine. My Little Ones, open your hearts to Me. I knock on the door of your hearts this instant. Open your hearts, and surrender to Me. Give Me permission to transfigure you. Give Me permission to heal you, and to minister to you this day. I never leave you. Know that I see all things, and understand what you are going through. Know that I must purify you with fire, with trials, and tribulations for many of you have grown distant, abandoned My precepts, and broken My most holy commandments. I will refine you, each and every one of you until you reach perfection. You are My heirs, and perfection must be your ultimate goal. Holiness is not an option, it is a requirement for entry into Paradise. You would do well to remember this, and to change your ways. Grow in love. Truly I telly you, holiness is love made manifest hundred fold. Holiness is love perfected. I call you to love. One more time, I invite you to love as never before. Love. Do all things in love. Be patient. Do not let your hearts be troubled. I know your progress. I know your shortcomings, and I will bless you along the way. Rejoice. Celebrate this advancement in love. Celebrate love. I place My seal upon your hearts, and lips. I leave you My kiss of peace.
Shalom

2 Maccabbees 6:16
He never withdraws his mercy from us. Although he disciplines us with misfortunes, he does not abandon his own people.

“Be not afraid, my children! Is it more merciful to allow sinners to persist in sin, or to put an end to an age of sin through chastisement? Know and believe that your Lord is merciful above all and seeks to call ALL sinners to righteousness. If they will not listen to the voice of God in his Church, they will listen to him in calamity. The children of this age persist in darkness. But the darkness can never vanquish the light. Light always triumphs. Therefore—rejoice! I say it again—rejoice! For your Lord is near and he comes to rule the world with justice and the peoples with fairness.”

Exactly. Which is why nobody can get into heaven.
All it takes is ONE sin to damn us. If all we ever committed one sin in our entire lives and lead a perfectly holy life for the rest of it, it STILL wouldn't be enough. All it took was one sin for Adam and Eve to bring sin into the world and get them kicked out.
So, even if the rest of my life were perfectly pure and holy, I couldn't get in because it's too late.
James 2:8-11 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
That's why it's not by our works that we're saved. Because we've already transgressed the Law and it's on our record. The only way to enter heaven is to have the record erased and that's what Jesus' death accomplished.
Colossians 2:13-15 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
