If a someone is dying you give him the anointing of the sick in the catholic church and all his sins are forgiven. Let’s assume a person X dies in a mortal sin like skipping mass. Or any mortal that any ordinary person might commit. But apart from that, X was a very good person.
  • What if he dies in his sleep or in a car crash without receiving anointing of the sick ?
If X died in mortal sin, his family prays for his soul and pays the church to hold masses in his name, do funeral and so on.
  • What if he immigrated and his family can’t reach him or he has no family? What if someone has no one to pray for him, no funeral whatsoever?

The Church prays for all those who have completed this life. There are also specific prayers for those in purgatory that have no one to pray for them. Many individuals take this task as a ministry, and pray daily for the souls in purgatory.
