You have to have contrition to be forgiven. There are two types of contrition. Perfect and imperfect contrition. Perfect contrition means you are sorry for offending God because he is all loving and good. This is difficult to have. Imperfect contrition is sorry for your sin because you fear hell and the loss of heaven. This is much more common.
