Or if you’re protestant, you don’t have to go to confession or show contrition, cause, don’t you know all your future sins are already forgiven?
There are sexual molesters in all of them, see the Baptist Church as an example. There are roughly three times as many Catholic priests in the US as Baptist ministers, the baptist current scandal includes somewhere around 400 accused abusers.

Yes. That is true. All of our sins: past, present, and future are under the blood of the sacrificed Saviour.
We do not confess our sins to any man for no man has to power to do the work that Jesus Christ has already done. But Christians do get dirty in this present evil world so we do confess our sins . . . directly to God.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 John 1:8-10).
Now, it would be a shame if you were to poo-pooh God’s ordained method for getting clean after we sin.
