Still...this is leaving the door to hell open if one has not repented of thier sin and is struggling to overcome it.
Since alcohol has been mentioned lets say someone is struggling with that...we all know it’s a very real battle and hard to overcome. So let’s say they have started drinking again and for some reason die..car accident or just drink this time too much and keel over. No time to repent of this sin...so then because they fell once again and died then you are saying because they have not repented of this sin they are doomed for hell?

The way that we have understood it from Apostolic times is that the intention is the important thing, not the legalistic interpretation. Jesus knows more than us, obviously, but if somebody is in a state of sin, but truly means to repent of those sins, then we understand that Jesus will handle that. But we still are instructed in the Judgement; and no free pass.
