Is forgiveness valid without confession?

[Phidelis]

When i pray to God for forgiveness especially of a mortal sin,does He needs confession to a priest to forgive me?What is de fate of non-catholics who earnestly seek forgiveness to God directly without any CONFESSION?If I cant see a priest, but deeply asks for forgiveness of a mortal sin comitted,and death comes suddenly,Im I hearding for hell?
