For example let's say a man tortures and kills a Christian couple and their child in a brutal way and is never apprehended. The couple and their kid go to Heaven. Decades later, the murderer has an existential crisis and turns wholeheartedly, completely and in good faith to God and repents for all his wrongdoings. He dies shortly afterwards in peaceful old age. In that hypothetical scenario, would that person enter Heaven along with the family he destroyed?
Let's say that instead of a murderer, a genocidal dictator responsible for millions of deaths repents in the same way in total good faith, in the last few months of his life (though like the first case he doesn't know it and his change of heart is not motivated by mortality). Would he also enter Heaven?
In the third scenario, let's say a man has worked for God and done good deeds all his life, saving thousands of lives in the process and sacrificing everything to the name of his Lord. In the last few months of existence (unbeknownst to him), he has a change of heart and denounces God and completely abandons his faith. Would that person be condemned to burn in Hell?
Sorry if these questions sound naive, I'm not too knowledgeable about this. What is the official doctrine on this?
