First I HOPE your’e NOT listening to Jamie5 in the first reply:open_mouth:

YES Absolutely! Dying with an unconfessed MORTAL sin WILL absolutely pay your ticket to HELL

I’m not clear on your second point. PLEASE clarify it so that I can respond to it.

God Bless and guide your path,
Patrick
 
No one can tell you where he is, but the intention he displayed was a good sign. Pray for him, our prayers can and do reach across time so even now you could pray for him on his deathbed. Pray for as long as you live and remember to trust in the Lord.
 
Are you familiar with the Divine Mercy Chaplet? Fr Chris Alar has related about his experience of his grandmother who had commited suicide many years before. He was told by his superior that God is outside of time and when we die so will we be. However, he could pray for his grandmother then and those prayers would help his grandmother at the time of her death.
You can do the same thing. Every morning I pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet for the souls in purgatory, the dying no matter when they are dying, past, present or future especially unrepented sinners so they repent.
 
How can you flat out say no?

You don’t even know what he’s talking about.

What if his unconfessed mortal sin is he’s the Zodiac Killer?

Giving people false hope is the horrendous sin of false prophecy. The false prophets constantlh told people “oh no, that’s no sin. God will bless you”. Then the true prophets would come and say “that is a sin and God is going to destroy you”.

Soothsayers aka false prophets. Still active after all these years…
 
A mortal sin, by definition, cannot be committed in ignorance.

Full knowledge is a prerequisite for mortal sin.

It’s impossible to committ mortal sin if you’re truly ignorant invincibly.
 
Yes, if mortal sin is left unconfessed upon death one will go to hell. But, not all grave sin will be mortal, depending upon the disposition of the sinner. Spyridon has given one of the criteria, which are.
  1. the sin must be grave
  2. one must know that it is grave (knowledge)
  3. one must decide with unimpaired freedom of will to commit the sin anyway.
The second criteria is where invincible ignorance applies, and diminished responsibility under the third criteria, each may reduce culpability or even remove culpability altogether. Should that be the case the sinner, all other things being equal, may still go to heaven even though committing an objectively grave sin (which still needs to be confessed, by the way).

But, if the grave sin becomes mortal, left unconfessed will lead one to hell.

Only God can judge a person as in a state of diminished responsibility, though we can have clues to it.

get to confession as soon as you can

the infinite mercy of God will take it from there…
 
Yes but the act is still objectively wrong. I could be brought up to believe sex outside of marriage is ok. It mightn’t be a mortal sin for me due to ignorance but the act is still wrong.
