Confess sin? Isn't this how ya get criminalized (not reconciled), and how devil (law) knows who it may DEVOUR?

[Allegory]

Seems both Catholics & Protestants have
more to learn, if still promoting confess sin.

Eg: Mark 3:29 notes
law imputed sin hath never forgiveness.

Eg: 2Corinthians 5:19 notes
Christ does not impute sin to confess.
Hint: pure religion = "undefiled",
but vain religion = defiled = oops;
And oops = reset, play again, till
you stop criminalizing every one,
by law imputing sin to confess.

[Nixonland]

You don't have to confess :/. It is a stupid thing but it makes them feel less guilty, so I say just let them be stupid and happy.
