Notes -
The Catholic Church did offer indulgences for donating money to the church(indulgences now are only available for spiritual works). But this wasn’t because people thought that forking over cash just generally made up for their sins. It was because people thought that the Catholic Church, specifically, could obviate the punishment for sin. I mean I’m guessing you don’t believe this, but the people who bought indulgences did.
Lacking this basis makes your plan less successful.
