I would say that unless a true miracle of Grace occurs (and they do in fact), this is most generally the case.

The only problem I have with the OP is the last drawing of a man at the age of 48, on the lower right, where it says.."physical and moral wreck." The box on the lower left, on the other hand, shows a nice and professional-looking man.

That's all well and good, but it can also be said that a moral man (or woman) at the age of 48 may have quite a careworn look about them, if they have been, say, farmers or peasants (poor). Farmers and peasants may look unpleasant, but they can still be moral if they follow true Catholic teaching.
