I was raised Catholic with the idea that I was free to make a change (and not be excommunicated from the household) after I made Confirmation. My parents weren't religious, I think their attitude was a combination of looking proper and "uh,in case this stuff is true she's covered" lol. Sin meant being born imperfect, perhaps "guilty" of being human, and maybe that's the guilt Vulcan is referring to. Since shame and guilt are connected i guess ot could be tough to be welcomed by a god who is "shaming" you, but I don't think CB was trying to say that.
