As such and by themselves, no. But…by raising our hearts to God they are instumental in having our sins forgiven. And the sacramentals given to us thru Mary have her personal backing and word for those who use them properly to bring us closer to Jesus which implies sorrow and forgiveness.
For example.
Brown Scapular:
carmelitanacollection.com/catechesis.php
Simply to wear the scapular without accepting the responsibilities attached to it would be to reduce this precious sacramental to the status of a charm or good-luck piece.
A few basic introductory principles of Carmelite spirituality would be:
¦frequent participation in the Mass and reception of Holy Communion;
¦frequent reading of and meditation on the Word of God in Sacred Scripture;
¦the regular praying of at least part of the Liturgy of the Hours; (see divineoffice.com)
¦imitation of and devotion to Mary, the woman of faith who hears the Word of God and puts it into practice;
¦the practice of the virtues, notably charity, chastity (according to one’s state of life), and obedience to the will of God.
Miraculous Medal:
During this apparition Mary explained her picture on the front of the medal. Mary’s hands had 3rings on each finger. Each ring gave off rays of colored light. A few rings did not. Mary said that the lights radiating from the rings are graces that people ASK for. The rings that didn’t radiate she said were graces not given because they were NOT asked for.
“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive GREAT graces; they should wear it
around the neck. GRACES will ABOUND for persons who wear it with CONFIDENCE.”
From the mother of Jesus spoken to sister Catherine Laboure 1830.
Green Scapular:
Wear or carry the green scapular for yourself.
To help another, place it in their vicinity (i.e. their room, wallet, purse, or all over; lamp, house,car, chair, bed).
Pray, at least daily: “Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.”
This prayer should be said for oneself and separately for each person to whom it has been given (unless they pray it themselves, which they might not do)
Scapular(s) should be blessed by a priest.
Have the strongest possible trust in Mary’s promise.
… Conversion of those who do not have the faith
… Reconciliation to the Church for those who have lost/strayed from the faith
… Assurance of a happy death
… Strengthening of the faith for those already in the Church
… Protection from Satan for those who wear or promote the scapular
Mary’s own words were:
“The GREATEST graces come from using the scapular but these graces come
in direct proportion to the degree of CONFIDENCE IN ME which the user has.”
The user is you, not the one to whom you give it to.
Confidence means that you believe Mary will keep her promises. (How could she not do so?)
It just means you do your part and she will do hers.
For example.

Just some thoughts.
