Is Christ's sacrifice able to cover your/our past, present and future sins?

Catholics believe that Christ's work is able to cover any and all sins EVER committed. However, we must keep in mind that all men are not going to heaven - thus, Christ's work is conditionally based. IF Christ's work unconditionally covered all sins, NO ONE would go to hell.

We believe that objective redemption is given to ALL men.

We believe that subjective redemption is dependent upon man's acceptance, repentance, and conversion in becoming another Christ. This is largely dependent upon God, as well - but does NOT exclude the individual.

What does that mean "in becoming another Christ"?

The idea is prevalent throughout Paul's writings. We are to put on the mind of Christ, which means we are to have the same value systems and change our own to match His. What is important to Him becomes important to us. What He would do for others, we would do as well, within the capabilities that God has given us.

In the end, we are to love as He loved others - His sole commandment.

Yes - but that is not to mean that we are to become "another Christ".
