A Protestant's trinitarisn baptism is a valid, Christian sacrament that forgives all past sins and their consequences.
One considerable difficulty, however, is what a Protestant does about any mortal sins he might commit after baptism.
They don't have access to the sacrament of Confession.
Will they always have perfect contrition for their sins -- a sorrow arising from a perfect love of God (not just a fear of hell), a pure sorrow of having re-offended the God who gave his life for us?
I need the sacraments, because I don't always repent as profoundly as I should. I need Confession, as well as the Eucharist, regular mental prayer, etc., to strengthen me. And I don't think I'm alone in that.
