Quickly lose Grace after Reconciliation or not?

[s.cono]

I was wondering. Suppose you just made confession. You confessed a number of sins, some older, some recent. Everything you can remember up to the present. You receive absolution, made your penance. Several hours later, out of nowhere, you remember four additional older sins, certainly mortal ones.

Do you lose Grace until you confess those remembered ones? For example would you not be able to receive a Plenary Indulgence if you fulfilled the usual conditions, until you got rid of the remembered sins?

Correct me if I am wrong
But I believe you simply need to mention the remembered prayers in your next confession but remain in a state of grace

Not sure about indulgences

Yes, confess the remembered sins next time.

Just wondered if your state of grace remains until your next actual new sin, or if you lose it directly upon remembering old sins?

You can mention them at your next confession. However, rest assured that those sins you forgot have been forgiven. You don’t lose the state of grace once you remember them.

Thank you, Stephie. I was leaning toward your answer, but was not sure. Have a blessed Sunday.
