As you reject the teachings of the Catholic Church, Sacred traditions and the Magisterium that The Holy Spirit inspires and protects the Church from error, you should be aware of the 6 sins against the Holy Spirit:

Presumption
Despair
Resisting the known truth
Envy of another’s spiritual good
Obstinacy in sin
Final impenitence

Adsum, Are you then saying that if I am not a Roman Catholic that I have sinned against the Holy Spirit and thus not saved?

A simple yes or no will be a sufficient answer.

The Holy Spirit doesn’t inspire some proclaimed “magisterium”. The Holy Spirit indwells true believers and it is He who gives us the ability to discern false teachings like those of the Catholic Church. It’s interesting to note that the very word “magisterium” comes from paganism. Magi or a derivative of it is a term, used since well before Christ, to denote followers of Zoroastrianism or Zoroaster. Is it any wonder that the Catholic Church removed the name of Clement of Alexandria who curses the magi for their “impious” rites and rituals from it’s list of Roman Martyrology?

Again you operate from a false premise

, you should be aware of the 6 sins against the Holy Spirit: Presumption, Despair, Resisting the known truth, Envy of another’s spiritual good, Obstinacy in sin, Final impenitence,

This is interesting.

Q. 917. What is the presumption of God's mercy? A. A foolish confidence of salvation, without leading a good life, or any care to keep the commandments; such as they entertain who think they will be saved by faith only, without good works.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith and not that of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, lest anyone should boast.

However, the Bible noted a sin against the Holy Spirit was when the Pharisees attributed Jesus' ability to cast out demons was due to Him doing so in the name of Beelzebub.

In other words, they were rejecting Christ.

To reject Christ is the only unforgiveable sin. If not, then what is 1 John 1:9 for?

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
