CP VS le subjonctif?

Hey! I was wondering if one could sometimes replace the conditionnel passé with the subjonctif, and vice versa. This because the CP also technically deals with "judged" (you should have done x" situations?
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate devoir in the conditional past in French = should have (Le Conditionnel Passé)"

Bonjour M - No. The subjunctive is required after certain verbs, conjunctions, and expressions. It's never interchangeable with the conditionnel passé.
