(Rev 22, 12-14) I bring with me the recompense

[12] "Behold, I am coming soon. I bring with me the recompense I will give to each according to his deeds. [13] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." [14] Blessed are they who wash their robes so as to have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through its gates.

(CCC 1486) The forgiveness of sins committed after Baptism is conferred by a particular sacrament called the sacrament of conversion, confession, penance, or reconciliation. (CCC 1470) In this sacrament, the sinner, placing himself before the merciful judgment of God, anticipates in a certain way the judgment to which he will be subjected at the end of his earthly life. For it is now, in this life, that we are offered the choice between life and death, and it is only by the road of conversion that we can enter the Kingdom, from which one is excluded by grave sin (Cf. 1 Cor 5:11; Gal 5:19-21; Rev 22:15). In converting to Christ through penance and faith, the sinner passes from death to life and "does not come into judgment" (Jn 5:24).
