“”If he were able at that point to somehow beg Christ to accept him, that he believed in Christ as his savior, and he repented his sin, he could have escaped the Hell that he was destined for.
But he couldn’t.””

And that is the part that I believe is fiction. I think or believe that God/Jesus can indeed see into the hearts and minds of humans, even those that are possessed, and if they truly wanted salvation, they would be saved. Satan or demons could not prevent that from happening.
I thought for a bit on that before I posted, and while you are correct, from what I have learned so far in my journey to Christ is that he can indeed see into our very souls, but...
How often can he intervene and save people unless they ask for it? I wondered about that.
Oddly. I looked at Judas in thinking of this. Did Judas understand fully that he was used as a tool to accomplish an end, repent of it, and ask for Christ’s forgiveness?
Will we see Judas in Heaven?
Like the Demon stated in the movie-God had to give us Free Will. It is an integral part of our human experience. My impression ws that this poor human, directly under the thumb of a demon standing next to him, was so cowed and terrorized that he could not ask Christ to save him.
If, in his mind, had he asked Christ for the strength, would Christ have provided that to him? It seems so.
