Not one of us knows another’s heart fully and with their last breath even a monster of a person can find salvation. Only God knows each of our hearts, only He is our judge, and that is the way it should be.
Someone wisely said, “When I get to heaven, I wonder how many will be surprised to see me there.”
Well said.
When Timothy McVeigh was executed, he asked for a Priest to administer Last Rights (McVeigh was raised Catholic).

The possibility that McVeigh made it to heaven and Judas didn’t, is profound. It moves us to see that (as I heard in Church) God is forever pining away for our confession…for us to ask for his forgiveness.
Have a blessed day.
