Some people attend church because they are Christian. Others are Christian because they attend church. These two groups do not serve the same god. And now, in the absence of church services, this is growing more starkly apparent.
Confessing sins to God, vowing to go out and atone for them as instructed as part of reconciliation, and failing to do so is not fulfilling the Sacrament. Love is unconditional but salvation is not, and the price is clearly stated. Unfortunately, narrow is the gate.

Each Sacrament has a requirement from us to fulfill the contract. Failing to do so through constant choices does not make one a Christian at all. Many will call Lord, Lord. It’s brutally sad, but must be said.

Hm. Have to read “Swear to God” by Scott Hahn? The efficacy of the Sacraments is not dependent on our effectiveness, but on God’s. The primacy is on His Grace and not on our ability. There is danger in your line of thinking that may teeter on Pelagianism or self-improvement.
