I used to think like that; perfectionism and all that. But I changed my view on God and religion.
I think the Ultimate Reality must be beyond both good and evil as we humans tend to think of them. And I reckon that both good and evil must proceed from this Reality.
I don’t think we can ever be perfectly good. It’s just not possible. After all, our ancestors were pretty damn savage, so we have that as our inheritance to struggle against.
If I were you I’d try to be more gentle and forgiving with/of yourself. If your intentions are good, that’s good enough.
