Luke 15:7 confirm Catholic Church teaching on Final impenitance?

[StephenL]

So in Luke15:7 it states" Just so I tell you, there will be more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance". So my question is does this confirm the Churches teaching on blasphemy?
Thanks for anytime you give me. I appreciate it!
God Bless!

I’m sorry, it’s not clear what you are asking here. . . could you perhaps cite the CCC for what you are referencing as “Church teaching,” or otherwise clarify what you mean?

I think that Jesus was making the point that the repentance of a sinner is a cause for joy, on earth (contrary to the attitudes of His critic in the story) and in Heaven. Obviously there is also joy for those who remain in a state of grace, but the salvation of one otherwise condemned is greater. . . .

I am sorry. I agree that I didn’t phrase it correctly.
Here is what is I mean. The Catholic Church teaches that every sin is forgiven, except for the one that is not repented. The sin is not forgiven due to any limitations of God, but because the sinner does not repent. ( Catechism) So I am asking when Jesus tells us that " So I tell you Heaven will rejoice over one sinner who repents than ninety- nine righteous people who need no repentance" Does this confirm that any sinner who willingly repents for all sins even at the end of life may be saved?

I’m not sure that I would say that it “confirms” it (whatever that might imply), but it is certainly a true statement of doctrine, and this citation from the Bible certainly doesn’t contradict that teaching!

Here is what the Douay-Rheims Study Bible has

7. Than upon ninety-nine just. Neither God, nor the saints in heaven, nor men on earth, do for all that esteem more of penitent sinners, than they do of them that continue just and godly; though by the sudden motion and present affection of joy that man takes and expresses in such alteration and new fallen good, it be here signified that the conversion of every sinner is exceeding acceptable to God, and gives his saints new cause of joy and thanksgiving to God in another kind than for the continuance of the just.
