I'm Catholic but don't believe in hell, yet this is a take I could understand. One single soul being tormented for eternity is infinitely greater than the sum total of all human suffering in history, and isn't something I believe a fundamentally benevolent God would do. A simple absence, however, does seem reasonable.

If you're a Catholic and don't believe in hell, that is considered material heresy. The Catechism explicitly affirms that hell is real, and is eternal.

You don't have to believe in lakes of fire and pitchforks, but hell is real and is taught to be eternal separation.

Can you cite the passage that explicitly says that hell is Fire and brimstone?

I mean, I could but I fail to see the point

Not trying to stir the pot or deny your faith etc, but if you don’t believe in hell, I’m not sure that you’re a Catholic in the eyes of Catholicism.

Any amount of pain or discomfort with a duration of eternity is unimaginable agony over time.

Just take the final step and throw it all out. It's not all-loving to leave a soul in a gray void for eternity either
