No, Jesus Christ has already paid for everyone's sins. When you commit a sin, however, you need to repent for it and know what you've done wrong and feel bad for it. After you repent you don't do that same sin again, at least try not to commit that same sin again. But no, Jesus Christ already paid for EVERYONE'S sins and all the sins in the whole world no matter how serious they are He's paid for ALL the sins in the world for EVERYONE no matter who you are or what you've done. However, in the Middle Ages one could purchase something called an indulgence. The idea was, that although Jesus had paid for all sins, individuals had to spend a certain amount of time in Purgatory repenting before going to Heaven. This time could be shortened by buying indulgences from the church.

Will moral sins be forgiven?

Of course, the only sins which cannot be forgiven are the unforgivable sin which is the sin against Hope (the second of the Cardinal Virtues). The sins against hope which cannot be forgiven are presumption and despair.The former is akin to the Protestant theory that once you are "saved" you cannot do anything to lose your salvation. That is presumption and is unforgivable as you don't think you need forgiveness.The latter, despair, is unforgivable as you don't think you can be forgiven for whatever reason: you think you have committed too many sins, or too horrible a sin, or whatever.The sins against hope cannot be forgiven for the simple reason that you cannot be contrite and ASK for forgiveness. God will forgive ANYTHING as long as we repent of it - which is not just being sorry for it, but trying not to do it again.Sins which we have not yet done cannot be forgiven until AFTER we do them, and repent of them. But all mortal sins can be forgiven as long as we confess them and repent. It is only when we are not contrite and repentant that we cannot be forgiven.
