It seems like a non-Christian/Catholic cannot commit a mortal sin, because they never had charity to begin with. It is only those that believe in the Church's teachings and know with certainty that they are true, but afterwards they commit a grave sin and unfortunately die before confessing and whatever else is required. Is this correct? Are these the only people that will have their flesh burned forever and ever in agonizing pain? | |

Those who do not have the life of grace (either because they have never been baptized or because, after receiving Baptism, they have lost the state of grace through a grave sin), however, can still commit grave sins, and we can still call those sins “mortal” by analogy, even though the soul of such a person is “dead” to begin with. | |
