Was Judas EVER saved? He did believe Jesus was the Son of God at one time. When Jesus sent out the disciples two by two, ALL disciples performed miracles (including Judas). He didn’t persevere. Satan did. Judas was replaced (as all who forfeit their place in the Kingdom of Heaven will be replaced).
Judas was never saved from the start.
Didn’t Judas throw the 30 pieces of silver back at those that paid him and then went and hung himself (and had help—wasn’t he “gutted”?) Sure sounds like he regretted what he had done and asked forgiveness.
Matthew 27: 3-6
and, not to pick nits, but when you say “ALL disciples performed miracles”, I’m certain you meant God performed miracles through His disciples.
Was Judas predestined to betray Jesus and in so doing go to Hell? What choice did he have?
You can know the Jesus is the Son of God and not be saved, you can even believe He died and rose again, but true repetance is turning from sin and embracing Christ and living for Him.

well, he died before Christ’s sacrifice. More than that we can’t say. God is merciful — THAT we know, but more than that we don’t know.
