Question

A step beyond confession and penance, these pardons (normally granted by popes or bishops) lifted the temporal punishment still necessary for a sin already forgiven.

Answer 1

The appropriate response is Indulgence. It is a stage past admission and retribution; typically conceded by popes or religious administrators lifted the transient discipline still essential for a transgression as of now excused. Regularly, that discipline was said to occur in limbo. Be that as it may, it could be transmitted through acts of kindness (counting petitions and contributing cash to admirable motivation).
