Sin is acquired and can be shed. Therefore sin is not the real nature of man; God will accept man whether he has sinned or not. All men fall far short of being perfect, and all men have sinned. But repentance is the key to forgiveness, in our doing so God will remember our sins no more, that is unless we repeat them. We are all tempted and succumb to temptation, but there is a way of redeeming ourselves and still receive a worthwhile reward. Answer: The above statement is correct. God's forgiveness does not depend upon the blood of Jesus - that is, actually, a cop-out. God's forgiveness depends upon YOU. Repent - even many times - God is the most forgiving, the most merciful.

To go to Heaven, you have to admit that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died on the cross to save you of your sins, and you must confess your sins.

PurgatoryRoman Catholic AnswerA sinner bad enough for hell is anyone who dies with an unforgiven mortal sin on their soul. Anyone else, anyone in the friendship of God (with no unforgiven mortal sin) will go to heaven. Anyone who dies with the effects of sin, or with actual venial sin on their soul must first be purified in purgatory.
