esp if you’re one of the devout ones who think they’ve been really good

    The bible considers it a sin, but sin doesn’t keep you out of heaven if you’re Christian, you basically just have to try and do better.

    The Catholic church decided it was a mortal sin, and because you didn’t have time to go to confession afterwards, you would go to hell.

    That’s a drastic oversimplification, but it is kind of the root of it.

      Suicide is only a sin, so it would theoretically be forgiven. Problem is you must atone for your sins before death, and there no way to atone if your dead by your own hand.
