Yes, that is why repentance is primary before catechesis can even begin.
Who began their ministries with calls to repentance?
John the Baptist - And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea. And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus Christ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Pope Peter Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
Now when they had heard these things, they had
compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and
to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men
and brethren?
But Peter said to them: Do penance,
and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your
sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost.
For the promise is to you, and to your children,
and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord
our God shall call.
And with very many other words did he testify
and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from
this perverse generation.
The jungle of sin must be cleared before the sowing of truth can begin.
It does no good to any man for the Bishop of Rome to try and trivialise the Mortal Sin of Adultery and to extinguish by lies the reality of the cataclysmic consequences of Mortal Sin or, Heaven Forfend, claim that God approves the putative positive aspects of the Mortal Sin of Adultery and to strive to change the sacramental praxis to satisfy the demands to change the Catholic Church by our ancient and permanent enemies the world, the flesh, and the devil, all of which presume to have claims on our souls.

EX OPERE OPERATO
A term defined by the Council of Trent to describe how the sacraments confer the grace they signify. Trent condemned the following proposition: "That grace is not conferred 'ex opere operato' by the sacraments of the New Law" (Denzinger 1608). Literally the expression means "from the work performed," stating that grace is always conferred by a sacrament, in virtue of the rite performed and not as a mere sign that grace has already been given, or that the sacrament stimulates the faith of the recipient and thus occasions the obtaining of grace, or that what determines the grace is the virtue of either the minister or recipient of a sacrament. Provided no obstacle (obex) is placed in the way, every sacrament properly administered confers the grace intended by the sacrament. In a true sense the sacraments are instrumental causes of grace.
