What makes one a Christian?
If a person believes by faith that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for their sins, and rose from the dead - trusting in Him alone for their salvation - then they are saved.
There are many Christians who hold wacky views - yet, they're still Christians. But if you take away the basics, all bets are off.

unrepentant, repentant,
If someone commits murder they are a murderer.
jesus paid for all sin, not just some sins..
Paul said these people will not enter the kingdom of God. He then said the people of Corinth were these people (they commited those sins)
He did not say, but you repented, or But you stopped those sins and changed you life, (in fact many of them were still committing those sins, the corinthian church struggled mightily with sexual sin) He said they were washed, sanctified and justified, by Jesus.
it is all because of what Jesus did, not us.

I firmly believe the greatest shock and horror ( if one could call it that there.. ) when we go to heaven....will be...
...the realization of the things we said about the character of our loving Father!
How that we did not have a clue what He was really like. Thank God...Jesus is the exact representation of the Father.

How about a liar?
The Bible says all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire. How many lies do you need to tell to be a liar?
One.
How many sins will damn a person?
One.
The whole point God is making is that we are all guilty of breaking His laws - and we will continue to break His laws (i.e., "sin") until the day we die.
That's why we need a Savior who paid for it all - every single sin. That's why we are declared righteous and holy. Christ's sinless nature is imputed to us. There is no condemnation left for believers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but by your reasoning, it seems, if a believer commits a sin just before death, his salvation is forfeit, and he goes to hell.

What I find funny about "confessing sins" is that we usually don't really confess the real sin.
Example:..I go to the store and steal food ( I supposedly confess that I stole food to God and He forgives me..)
The "sin" of stealing the food is just the "fruit" of my real sin....which is....I do not trust in my loving heavenly Father.
So, It is impossible to really confess our sins....if we had to rely on that procedure.....we'd be goners and hell-bound for sure!!
just thinkin' out loud here...
