On Hell and Forgiveness

[robvalue]

It seems to me that a lot of luck is involved. Let's pretend I'm a Christian, and I'm the right denomination that gets to go into heaven. I have to atone for sins or else I get refused entry. I need to do this periodically, because as we all know, humans are incapable of being sinless.

So what happens if I suddenly die right after committing some minor sin, before I've had the chance to atone for it? Presumably, I'm fucked. I need to die in such a way that I have enough time to scramble for forgiveness before I pop off. If I just drop dead, or get shot in the head, then off to hell I go.
