What is the difference between the servile fear of Imperfect contrition which is serving God out of fear of hell…vs the pure servile fear that is not sufficient for forgiveness?
My guess is that there is no difference and that all servile fear is acceptable for imperfect contrition… why else would you have servile fear toward the Lord if it weren’t based upon the fear of Hell?
