So, the thief on the cross got special treatment?

The thief is a "litmus test" of what's required for salvation.

Hardly. It shows the mercy of God. Otherwise, what about all of that preaching about obedience to God in the Gospels? The thief is not the rule, but rather an exception that God makes while in agony on the Cross.
