Catholics believe that if you die in the state of mortal sin, then you go to hell.
The Catholic Church does teach Catholics about being saved. To be saved, one must be in a state of grace, free from "mortal" sin (which cuts off one's friendship with God). The Catholic Church teaches that once you have been saved, you can lose your salvation by falling into a state of mortal sin, but also that even mortal sin can be forgiven, and salvation can be restored.

The Catholic Church does not have a "list" of sins. Simply, a mortal sin is a sin that merits hell.

.Catholic AnswerMortal sin: both are terrible offenses against God. a Venial sin wounds your relationship with God. It can be forgiven through a sincere act of contrition, a good and sincere act at Mass in the penitential rite, or just a sincere prayer to God asking for forgiveness for all your faults. A Mortal sin complete kills the life of God in your soul, that is why is it called mortal. One mortal sin is more than sufficient to cast you into hell for the rest of eternity and anyone dying in a state with even one mortal sin on their soul loses all hope. The *only* sacraments which can be received in a state of mortal sin are 1) BAPTISM (if you have not already been baptized), and 2) CONFESSION: the sacrament that Our Blessed Lord provided to forgive sin. To attempt to receive Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin is yet another sin, and even more serious, it is called sacrilege.
The Catholic Church teaches that the souls in purgatory are being purified before entering heaven, usually through the prayers and sacrifices of the living. A person in purgatory needs to have all remaining temporal punishment due for their sins paid off before entering heaven, so prayers, Masses, and indulgences are seen as ways to help with this purification process. Ultimately, the final judgment is left up to God.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, missing Mass on a Sunday is a sin, if it is deliberate then it can easily be a mortal sin (for those who do not know, one mortal sin is all it takes, if you die with one mortal sin on your soul, you are denied heaven for eternity). It is covered in both the Ten Commandments and the Precepts of the Church, you must attend Mass on all Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation. You may not receive Holy Communion at Mass if you have previously missed a Sunday or Holy Day and have not been to confession.
Roman Catholic AnswerMortal sin is worse because it completely kills the life of Christ in the soul.
