Nope! All sin is mortal sin....all sin deserves and ends in death.
They see grace as a commodity that is kept in a large storehouse. The saints had an extra abundance of grace and it had to be collected and stored somewhere.
Peter and the 'other' popes who followed are able to dip into that storehouse and dispense grace to others. Many times this is done through indulgences.
Grace is still unmerited because 'you' didn't earn it, someone else did.

That is what I thought too! So why does the Catholic Church insist on defining and redefining everything? They do the same thing with the Grace of God. They have so many categories and subcategories of sin and Grace, it makes one wonder if it is Grace at all.
The Catholic Church makes a distinction between venial and mortal sin(s). Is this biblical, and is there any place for it in the Reformed tradition?
"Sin that doesn't lead to death," is sin that is covered by the blood of Jesus, sin that has been forgiven. John is concerned that we pray for our brothers in Christ who still sin (that would be everybody--we all continue to need these prayers). We all need "help" to repent as we should.
Q. 83. Are all transgressions of the law equally heinous?
A. Some sins in themselves, and by reason of several aggravations, are more heinous in the sight of God than others.
[KJV]Ezekiel 8:6, 13, 15[/KJV]
[KJV]Matthew 11:20-24[/KJV]
[KJV]John 19:11[/KJV]
Q. 84. What doth every sin deserve?
A. Every sin deserveth God’s wrath and curse, both in this life, and that which is to come.
[KJV]Matthew 25:41[/KJV]
[KJV]Galatians 3:10[/KJV]
[KJV]John 19:11[/KJV]

kind of credits ME with being able to read English. You even quoted a translation that, unlike the KJV, refrains from adding the indefinite article. So is it "sin" here? I think so. But you seem to me to be leaning toward the reading "A sin."If what you are saying is true then all sin does not lead to death.
