There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation
offered by the Holy Spirit. ~ CCC 1864
In the sacrament of reconciliation, the formula of absolution begins, "God the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son, has reconciled
the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins."
To refuse that forgiveness is the sin against the Holy Spirit.
