In Catholicism they teach both perfect contrition (sorrow arising from God out of love) and imperfect contrition (sorrow arising more from a fear of God’s punishments). Imperfect contrition is sufficient, but only for confession only and would send one to Purgatory.

Does the Eastern Orthodox Church accept ‘Imperfect contrition’ as sufficient for confession?

I moved this thread to Non-Catholic Religions. Should get better responses.
 
Thank you twf. Would you also mind moving this thread there too?

I assumed all the EO questions went in this category.

Are all intentional sins in Eastern Orthodox considered 'mortal'? Non-Catholic Religions
Since the Eastern Orthodox Church doesn’t believe in the difference between venial and mortal sin, and that sin is sin…does that mean ANY sin, committed intentionally will land one in hell if left unrepented?
