It's both. People try to stick to the technical definition of repentance and say "It only means a change of mind!!!" (and they get really angry about any results of that repentance that equals a turning from sin, which is the necessary beginning of the process of sanctification; Hebrews 12:14&c).
One cannot be granted repentance from God, (2 Timothy 2:24-26; Acts 11:18) have a genuine change of mind about God and their sin, yet carry on in the same fashion concerning both at the same time. That would not be repentance.
But the hermeneutic of these same is inconsistent: They'll stick to a strict definition of repentance, "It only means a change of mind!" and any elaboration of the sense of this doctrine is rejected for the strict definition only.
Yet, when speaking of being spiritually dead, nekros, they'll not stick to the strict definition of this, rejecting lost mans dead state, inability and the need to be "made alive" (Ephesians 2:1-3) and say "It only means separation from God!!!!" rejecting the strict definition which means a corpse, dead.
This shows a totally inconsistent hermeneutic while toying with God's Gospel and his word. A consistent hermeneutic is 2 Timothy 2:15 in practice. Any other method falls short of fulfilling this passage.
