I remember being taught that one can never know of the possibility of repentant thought just at the moment of death. I don’t believe some of those people were capable of it...but only God knows..

Someone taught you something that only God knows? Did you ask them how they knew?

As Spurgeon said somewhere, “Will you trifle with his mercy till His justice smite thee?” I’d suggest that any attempt to play God for a fool by timing one’s repentance “just right” be abandoned. As long as it is called “Today”...and “today, if you hear His voice...”

Because God hardens whom he chooses to harden, that voice may be inaudible.

I am not sure exactly what you are referring to but the thief on the cross was pretty close to death.
