I started to add more but didn’t want the post to be too lengthy.
Apparently these people haven’t a clue as to what Christianity is, or they’re agents of darkness whether they are aware of it or not.

Yeah, that whole chapter spells it all out plain as day.
Once they’ve been turned over to a reprobate mind, it is, without a doubt, they’ve become “agents of darkness”.
IMHO from studying the Word; men and women are endowed with a conscience. It is part of the human makeup and was instilled by God. It is thru the conscience that one becomes aware of God and what is right & wrong. When that conscience is “seared with a hot iron” (1Timothy 4:1-2), they have deliberately shut off any awareness via their conscience that was constantly convicting them of their sin. It is a that point, they’re given over to a reprobate mind. God still loves em and wants all to come to Him, but they’ve deliberately shut off “the communication line” so to speak.
