That isn't repentance. The demons know Jesus is Lord. Judas knows Jesus is Lord. Repentance requires that one turns from sin. That change of life isn't possible if we're dead, once we enter eternity.

There is a difference between acknowledging that Yeshua (Jesus) is Lord and believing and repenting. Fallen angels know that G*d is Sovereign and they still do not repent. The adversary and the other fallen angels still cannot do anything to those who are saved unless G*d allows them to do something for the sake of testing our faith, disciplining us for grieving the Holy Spirit or possibly providing a thorn in the side (since it does not really specify just what the thorn in the side was).
That is a double negative.
There is no free will in hell.
You can't have it both ways.

Repentance means your mind has done a 180
they went from unbelief to belief that’s true repentance
repemtan e does not mean turn from sin, that’s a false interpretation
we turn from sin because of repentance. It is not repentance

Why can’t I.
it’s not a double negative, free will,states I can chose between two ore more choices, I will still have that ability in hell, I just won’t be able to recieve Gods gift freely because I lost the chance
Faith without works is dead. If someone regrets sinning but doesn't try to stop, did they repent or just feel bad about it?

Faith without works is dead because mere belief will never change anyone
works are a result of faith. They are not faith
just like repentance is the cause of faith
you seem to want to add yourself into the equation. I am not sure God will share his glory with you but if you wish to try, feel free
To repent is to ask forgiveness for your sins:
1 John 1:9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we confess our known sins, then he will also forgive us of the sins which we are not aware that we have commited as well.
However, this has to do with the person who has accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as their savior while they are still alive praying to G*d for forgiveness of their sin in order to restore their fellowship with G*d through the filling of the Holy Spirit.

Repentance removes obstructions and prepares the soul to receive Christ.Works make Faith visible.
Umm, thanks! I don't know what you mean.

Repentance is the act of changing from unbelief to belief in all Gods says.
God does not need proof he knows the heart. True faith will work. It’s nit a question of if
Um. Jesus paid it all. He does not need any work from you to help him. Nit if works lest anyone should boast.
Who said He did?
Who said it wasn't?
Who said He did?
He does share His life with us. Here is Paul mentioning that Grace.
Romans 8
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Ridiculous!
I know what I wrote and I know you need a straw man. So, you'll have to show me where I said those things.

I know what you wrote also
deny it all you want. You did what I claimed you did by adding works as required for salvation
Why won’t you admit your belief?

Repentance is changing your mind about committing a sin and turning to God, asking for forgiveness is probably a cause from repentance
You can't tell me what I believe. You don't know that?
Why wont you quote me so this misunderstanding can be cleared up?

I would disagree
if you can chose you are free,, you are only not free if you can only chose one way or the other based on whatever reason
