it is a voluntary and sincere change in the mind of the sinner, causing him to turn from his sin, it should be noted here I said sin (singular) and not sins (plural). True repentance involves the turning from one specific sin, the previous rejection of Christ. Jesus spelled this out very clearly for us in John chapter 16. It is expedient for you that I go away: I will send the Comforter unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
About sin-acknowledging my sinful, rebellious hopeless reprobate state before The Holy Righteous God
About Jesus-acknowledging that Jesus paid the penalty for my sin in His death, burial and resurrection
One interesting fact that differentiates the Protestant and Roman Catholic view of REPENTANCE, is in the Douay-Rheims Bible (DRB) translation.
"And saying, REPENT ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Mat 3:2 KJV
"And saying: DO PENANCE: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Mat 3:2 DRB
"Bring forth therefore fruits meet for REPENTANCE:" Mat 3:8 KJV
"Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of PENANCE." Mat 3:8 DRB
In contrast to REPENTANCE, PENANCE is self effort in that "he who sins must repent AND as far as possible MAKE REPARATION to Divine justice." Catholic Encyclopedia

I agree. To REPENT is to change your mind...
