“I just want to know if I can go to Heaven. That's all I want in life, salvation in the next.”
Sarah Gracia, Prisoners of War

Jesse S. Summers
“Scrupulosity has the following characteristic features: (1) perfectionism, (2) chronic doubt, and (3) moral thought-action fusion...

In likelihood thought-action fusion, sufferers believe that their thoughts, merely by occurring, make some bad outcome (such as the act or event that they are imagining) more likely to occur...

In moral thought-action fusion, by contrast, people with Scrupulosity fail to distinguish doing something immoral from thinking about doing something immoral, and hence, treat thoughts as equivalent (or close) in moral status to physical actions. They see having unacceptable thoughts, even if they are uncontrollable and intrusive thoughts, as (almost) as bad as having an immoral intention, making an immoral attempt, or even actually performing an immoral action.”
Jesse S. Summers, Clean Hands: Philosophical Lessons from Scrupulosity
