To expand on what Fr. Seraphim has said, this is in fact a heresy that the Church condemned in the 3rd century. There *is* a remedy — namely, a desire to repent and turn back to Christ, coupled with the aid of Grace through the Sacrament of Confession.

That is not what the quote said, or what we believe Anathamus.

I have sinned, I accepted Christ, I sinned again, I am now damned without remedy.

It seems that it is a whole cloth: Recognizing the Lord, recognizing that we are sinners and recognizing that we need His mercy. If any of these threads is missing the tapestry of His grace is undone and we cannot receive mercy–we will die in our sins, oblivious to the Truth that is all around us. If we cannot see that He is the Lord, the son of God, come to save sinners, how then can we cry out:

"Lord, Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!"

A comment sent to me by email: "Fortunately, he added 'IF'".
So true! Christ is Risen!
