Do the conditions for mortal sin apply to non-catholics?
Upvote:3
If the non-Catholic is not baptized, the non-Catholic has original sin and is damned, "unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock," as Pope Eugene IV puts it in his Cantate Domino.
If the non-Catholic is baptized, he does not have original sin, but he can certainly commit actual sins (mortal or venial).
Cain and Onan—who committed the sins of fratricide and contraception, respectively—were before Christ, yet that did not except them from sin.
