Seems rather weird to hear the speculation!

On the contrary, I believe this is vital work.

First, no where have I read that it’s a sin to speculate on anyone’s Final Home.

Second, we do it all the time - Hitler, Ted Kennedy, John Paul Stevens, and just WAIT until Fauci dies.

Third, as I wrote earlier, it can be insightful. Why did Peter not kill himself while Judas did? Our Risen Lord welcomed Peter - what does that tell us about the potential for Judas had he not hanged himself?

And fourth, and probably often overlooked, we betray Jesus all the time. We break the commandments, we sin against others, we swear, drink, and so on. What makes us any better? The answer, usually, is that we are not BETTER but, so it would seem, we are like Peter and are TRUSTING in God’s Mercy.

Of course nobody knows what’s in a man’s heart and, thus, where people Land. And anyone who says they KNOW that which only God knows is flirtin’ with disaster. But I consider this exercise to be fair AND fruitful. YMMV.

Hi! You have made excellent observations and points. I read over my comment and it sounded to me, very critical. That was not my full intention. My full intention is to focus appeal to our Heavenly Father, His Mercy and take solace that He and He alone knows our hearts. Therefore, when I reach paradise, I hope to be very happily surprised at who greets me. There. that’s better said.

🙂🙂
