Kinds of sins

I just came from a cell group meeting and the discussion is about understanding sin. I feel so blessed to learn all these things that I can't stop to search it to you guys. I don't have my notes with me so I am just listing it down from my memory.
1. Inherited sins - those sins that are inherited from our ancestors. These sins are considered as original sins.
2. Imputable sins - those sins that are committed by our fore parents. For example, our country's president loans a big amount of money. That loan will be 'our' loan as citizens of a country.
3. Individual sins - those sins that we committed individually and is known to us.
a. Sin of intent - did not physically do the action but is thinking of it on mind.
b. Sin of neglect - you know what to do good, what God wanted us to do but neglected it.
c. others - (can no longer name the other but I will get back on this.)
Now that we have named some of the kinds of sins, can you enumerate your sins based on these categories? The listings can help you identify all the sins and repent to God.

I was told years ago by a church deacon that the sweetest thing in life is sin. I would advise therefore, enjoy yourself then repent. Forgiveness is there to receive all you have to do is ask for it. People do it every day but church can't miss them on Sundays

If I'm not mistaken, somewhere in the Bible, God eventually arranges it so that every person will be punished accordingly to their own sins, and not for the sins of another person. As selfish people, we will always want someone else to take the blame for our mistakes, not knowing that it is a sin as well to desire this greedy aspect.
Also, a lot of God's followers, David, Saul, Samuel, and more did not detail every sin they did before God, but simply said, Lord I have sinned against You. To God that was enough, and it is still like that today.
