When does curiosity become a sin?
What is the perfection that a Christian should try to reach?

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.-Matthew 5:48

We must always try to be perfect and grow in holiness, but we can never achieve perfection. We are saved through the grace of Jesus, we can’t do it without that, and so we must humbly submit ourselves to His mercy.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” - Matthew 19:26
 
‘Some men walk before Me without sincerity. Led on by a certain curiosity and arrogance, they wish to know My secrets and to understand the high things of God, to the neglect of themselves and their own salvation. Through their own pride and curiosity, and because I am against them, such men often fall into great temptations and sins.’ - The Imitation of Christ
 
Curiositas is not ordinary curiosity. It is busybodiness, working yourself up to get worried, avidness to know stuff that is private, etc.
