I don’t think so. Their participation was quite different. Pilate actually tried to release Jesus, saying something like “what evil has this man done?”, with the Jews replying crucify him. It was a custom on the passover for one to be released, and the Jews chose Barabbas over Jesus, Pilate was a somewhat passive participant, although the result was the same.

Jesus said of Judas, ‘it would have been better had he never been born’, so having Jesus say that about you is not a good thing.

That said, it is not for us to decide, it’s up to one much greater than us.
