I don't believe God has separate tally sheets for our sins and marks them according to venial or mortal or whatever. The whole concept is for man to understand the significance of our actions in a spiritual matter, framed from a divine perspective. It is FAR TOO EASY for us to use our own fallen nature and moral relativism and pride to "justify" our own sins as if they're no big deal (having interacted with you I'm sure you'd agree). God cares about our heart rather than vain words in the end; do we want to follow Him and be His or not? It's not my place to assume anything past that, and I may be overstepping when here.
