I repent because of the sorrow I feel in my heart that I allowed myself to be enticed and drawn away by some trivial bait. I turned from Father to the deceitful lust of my flesh.
The lusts of our flesh are deceitful because we think whatever is put before us is good for us when the opposite is true.
I would like to get to the point where I recognize the lust for what it is and I do not allow it to turn my eyes away from Father.
Psalm 91:
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler

The message is that God forgives you because of Jesus death on the cross....not because you repented but because He loves you enough to wash you clean.
You should repent, but the purpose is not to "earn" God's forgiveness. It is to listen to God and learn how not to repeat the same mistake again or because He convicts is of it (shows us what we need to change)
The statement is:
"because the Father has forgiven us for Christ's sake"

Why should both things not be true? And as a matter of fact, FORGIVENESS is primarily in view for Christians if we want to go strictly "by the book" (which has not been happening). So kindly pay close attention to the words of God, not man:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So when you said the purpose is not to "earn" God's forgiveness you may have been right because you used the wrong term. But if the purpose was to RECEIVE God's forgiveness, then this OP is a deliberate attempt to circumvent and subvert Scripture. And you too must revise your thinking.

There is a difference between seeking God's forgiveness because we don't understand how Jesus died for our sins and by that we ARE forgiven....
.versus Seeking to Accept that God has truly forgiven us.
Yeah I read the scripture....just trying to move to the next part you dont highlight...
"to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
That is why we should repent.

Is it so hard to admit you might have misunderstood the OP?

I think it would depend on what interpretation they use for repent.
for those who think we need to do it every time we sin, alot, for those who think we tepent once, we confess after, probably not many, (only those sins they did not know were sins before they would repent when they realised it.
But we all should confess, as God asks, no matter what we believe. So knowing it does not affect forgiveness should effect no one truely following christ,
