Is it possible for a Sola Fide Protestant to commit a mortal sin?

[BenSinner]

A sola fide Protestant believes with all their mind and heart that there is NO sin that can damn them to hell if they believe Jesus is their savior.

So wouldn’t that eliminate the ‘Full Knowledge’ aspect of mortal sin, even though their viewpoint is erroneous?

I don’t think that’s quite right. I think you’re missing Once Saved Always Saved with Sola Fide.

Of course it is, a sin doesn’t cease to be a sin because people no longer believe it is one.

If I did not believe in gravity, and jumped off the Empire State building, would I still be dead?

Same for those who, perhaps through no fault of their own, believe in a form of Christianity where the Sacraments are missing.
As to Final Punishment, that is above my pay grade. Pray for ALL lost souls.

“Full knowledge” in the context of mortal sin means that the person commits the sin with full awareness of what they are doing and knows that it is seriously wrong.

It does not mean that they have to understand precisely what the term “mortal sin” means, and it does not mean that they have to believe that their sin will send them to hell if not repented of.

We cannot judge the intentions of anyone’s heart or know their eternal destiny–only God can (fortunately). But certainly it is possible for almost anyone to commit a mortal sin–you don’t have to be a Catholic or agree with Catholic theology to do so.
