You are forgiven (if necessary - just say 3 Hail Marys).

By the way, on a pseudo-serious note, mathematicians do distinguish between countable and uncountable infinities. A countably infinite set is one that can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers (the integers). Surprisingly, the set of real numbers on any finite interval (e.g. 0-1) is of an order of infinity that is not countable. This infinity has a cardinality denoted by aleph-1, while the countable infinity (of the integers) has a cardinality denoted by aleph-0 or aleph-null.

What's more, the set of rational numbers (those that can be represented as one integer divided by another) in any interval is countable. In other words, the uncountable part of an interval is made up of the irrational numbers. In fact, between any two rational numbers there is an uncountable infinity of irrational numbers. Wheeee!
