Does mortal sin always equal hell?

[vz71]

Therefore, we are assured forgiveness for all of our sin.

Including that which goes unconfessed?

There is therefore now, no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

All of these great things for those that match criteria that are so ambiguously defined as to be meaningless.
You need to be much more specific…and perhaps address the questions at hand as well.

The CC teaches that if a person has the sincere intent to confess and repent from mortal sin but doesn’t get to do so due to accidental or untimely death, the intent is enough to save the person from being condemned although purification is still necessary.

Precisely what I was looking for, thanks. Do you have specific paragraph numbers for this?

1430 Jesus’ call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before him, does not aim first at outward works, “sackcloth and ashes,” fasting and mortification, but at the conversion of the heart, interior conversion. Without this, such penances remain sterile and false; however, interior conversion urges expression in visible signs, gestures and works of penance.23

1435 Conversion is accomplished in daily life by gestures of reconciliation, concern for the poor, the exercise and defense of justice and right,33 by the admission of faults to one’s brethren, fraternal correction, revision of life, examination of conscience, spiritual direction, acceptance of suffering, endurance of persecution for the sake of righteousness. Taking up one’s cross each day and following Jesus is the surest way of penance.34

1484 "Individual, integral confession and absolution remain the only ordinary way for the faithful to reconcile themselves with God and the Church, unless physical or moral impossibility excuses from this kind of confession."94 There are profound reasons for this. Christ is at work in each of the sacraments. He personally addresses every sinner: "My son, your sins are forgiven."95 He is the physician tending each one of the sick who need him to cure them.96 He raises them up and reintegrates them into fraternal communion. Personal confession is thus the form most expressive of reconciliation with God and with the Church.

I Think Someone Mentioned The Point–if You Die In Mortal Sin. That Is Perhaps Key. Nowhere Does It Say That A Mortal Sin Cannot Be Forgiven. You Think Christ Does Not Forgive Murderers. Its A Case By Case Thing. Your Conscience Is Your Purgatory. Don’t Get Too Entrapped By Catholic Guilt Syndrome-i Know How That Can Scar You. Have More Confidence In God, Not In Mankind, Otherwise You Will Punish Yourself Too Much.

 

[Namesake]

At Confession, once repented the sin is forgiven and absolution given. You are then no longer in a state of mortal sin.

Can that happen without a priest being involved?

If you are in a state of unrepentant mortal sin you should feel guilty.

For mortal sin? If you have perfect contrition. Which itself requires a firm resolve to confess if/as soon as it’s possible. And which we can never be certain of in any event.

And even so you can’t receive Communion or any of the other Sacraments unless you go to confession. So why would you not confess if you can?

That’s a very good way to phrase it.

Namesake isn’t Catholic and doesn’t have the ability to make a Sacramental confession.
