That's Catholicism with its sacrament of confession (penance and reconciliation). Also there is the Anointing of the sick for those who are about to die, sometimes it can substitute the other sacrament if the person is unable to perform it.

Protestants believe in predestinaton, is up to God if you go to heaven or not. You could behave as a "good christian" all your life and still not be saved.

There are different traditions inside Protestantism, like Calvinism and its double predestination. Or Lutherans, Methodists, etc. All with similar variations of the same concept.

I don't know where amerikkkan televangelism fits here. My personal guess is straight to hell.

    Catholicism, compared to protestantism, does have as doctrine that what you do affects your redemption, whereas protestants have a personal and direct connection to Jesus. So I think the other poster was correct, in a way, although I think this doesn't contradict what you are saying either. Mainstream catholics kind of believe that you can't know who god chooses to go to heaven or why, so based on the doctrines of mercy, forgiveness, and grace, then probably everybody goes to heaven. This contradicts Opus Dei weirdos and tradcaths, who adhere to pre Vatican ii doctrine.
