Peccatism

Not to be confused with Eternal sin or Original sin.

Peccatism is a theological concept describing the belief that human beings are inherently sinful or morally flawed. In Christian theology, it refers to the view that sinfulness is an essential aspect of human nature and that divine redemption is necessary for reconciliation with God. The term is closely related to, but distinct from, the doctrine of original sin, encompassing both inherited guilt and the continuing inclination toward sinful behavior. In modern comparative theology, it has also been used analytically to describe Christian doctrines concerning universal human sinfulness and the need for salvation.
