Bless me, Father, for I have sinned; it's been days/weeks since my last confession.
The opening words of the confession give it away. The Church teaches that merely being away from the confessional is a sin, regardless of anything else one may or may not have done. Therefore, there is always a sin to confess.

Right, well now that you've told some people that they don't believe what they think they believe, and that the church teaches things they were never taught by the church, can I tell you that you believe you're going to hell?
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned; this is my first confession." Is the semicolon causal? Or is this merely information to help inform the rest of the conversation?
