Satan's judgment was pronounced at the Garden of Eden through the seed of the woman, throughout Christ's earthly ministry He had authority over him, and at Calvary and Christ's resurrection he was conquered. John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world [Satan] is judged.
In the OT, forgiveness required sacrifice of a substitute which only provided temporary covering for sin and simply foreshadowed Christ's atonement (the new and better covenant). Now it is only the precious blood of Christ that purges our conscience from dead works whereby we are forgiven and eternally redeemed.
Heb 9:12-14 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Gal 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Christ purchased our freedom through His substitutionary death so that by us dying with Him in repentance and faith we are delivered from the influence of sin, self, and Satan. We are also given the Holy Spirit as our inner assurance that we belong to Christ and enablement to do God's will (Phil 2:13).
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
God despises sin and all workers of iniquity and their righteous deeds are nothing but filthy rags before Him. Therefore Jesus' substitutionary atonement is the only means in which the unrighteous can be declared righteous in God's sight. Imputed righteousness is God accrediting the penitent sinner as righteous because of their faith in Jesus' finished work; it is essentially God treating them as if they never sinned.
Rom 4:5-8
5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Phil 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Who on earth was sinless to carry the atonement for mankind than the sinless Lamb of God (Christ)? Only Christ was capable of dying for vile sinners. By repenting and exercising faith in His sacrifice, the redemption He paid will be appropriated to them.
That verse has nothing to do with Christ's atonement.
