When you are talking about karma; from the Sanskrit root kr, "to do,"
"to act," you are talking about religious belief. The qualifier, "your"
that you use in reference, is entirely irrelevant in the definition of
karma. It is not based on the Christian religious belief of sin, which I
clearly am not trying to compare it with.

No, that is not how the theory of karma is said to operate.

Yes it is. When you are reborn, if you have stored "a lot" of "good"
karma, your station in life will be described as "better" than your
previous birth, such as being reborn in the Brahman caste.
However, if you manage to live your life with your actions producing no
karma at all, you will not be reborn again, but will merge back into the
infinite Source of all being.
