Instead of claiming you will be tortured forever if you do those things (and don't go to confession), the country club asks you to leave.

Well, but the Catholic church doesn't implement the torture, it just tells you about it. The telling-about-it is itself a form of forceful persuasion in the right contexts (i.e. to young children), but in general it's still roughly comparable to being denied access to the country club.
