"The "not wanting anyone to perish" refers to believers who must come to repentance."
Seems to me +Peter could have said that. Greek is a marvelously precise language, you know. Its some of the more recent translations and interpretations which are a bit strained.

Seems to me +Peter could have said that. Greek is a marvelously precise language, you know. He did say it. I would suggest you are misreading what he is stating. I read the "all come to repentence" as referring back to Peter's statement "patient with you".
