Unless i've misread your text, please do clarify?
If u die without confessing ur MORTAL sins ( like murder, fornication, missing Sunday Mass etc etc), u will perish in Hell. Thats why we should go for Confessions.
Majority of our sins are not mortal sins haha. Mortal sins are serious enough to tear up our relationship wif God.
Here is a biblical quote to help ur understanding.
for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ.
12
If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, (all christians)
13
the work of each will come to light, for the Day 7 will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire (itself) will test the quality of each one's work
14
If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage.
15
But if someone's work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, 8 but only as through fire. (venial sins will be purged in purgatory)
16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy (mortal sin leads to Hell)
Hence purgatory thus reveals the state of righteousness (v.14), state of venial sin (v.15) and the state of mortal sin (v.17), all of which are judged after death.
