I believe that you are referring to indulgences, and although they don’t erase someone of all their sins, they can be purchased to gain a better chance at salvation. Martin Luther wrote the 95 Theses in response to the Catholic Church selling indulgences. This is seen as a cause of the Protestant Reformation.
