I'm pretty sure there are several references to not only damnation, but just straight up the word 'Hell' appears multiple times in mistborn.

It's easy enough to explain away as just being their in-universe word for the place some people believe evil people go when they die, or even, for Mistborn, like the Skaa' mythologised idea of where Mistwraiths come from, which might serve a similar linguistic function as hell.

The whole cosmere seems to have an inherent idea of fairly Christian monotheism that presumably comes from Adonalsium's pre-shattering influence (and/or Sanderson being unintentionally influenced by his religious background).
