Could you say something about why you think it might be a sin to attend Mass on Saturday evening rather than Sunday? Why do you think parishes offer Saturday evening Masses if it would be a sin for people to attend them?

Not a sin. The attendance rule is a Saturday night mass OR Sunday. Both are equally permissible.
