“paying for” the sins of his life. Luke 23:43
The first plenary indulgence.

The good thief asked for forgiveness. He was granted his request because he had a Baptism of Desire/Baptism of Blood.
Please check out those two terms and find out what they mean.
Another thing — Paradise was a waiting place where all the good people from the Old Testament were waiting for Jesus Christ to be the first one into heaven. It was NOT heaven.
