So angels don't need a redeemer? Are sins forgiven because they are paid for or because someone repents? Humans find forgiveness through repentance because we have a propitiation. Otherwise, there would be unrighteousness with God if sins are forgiven without the requisite atonement.
Further, what covering is provided to the angels. Sin requires not only atonement, but also the righteousness owed to God in the thing we sinned in. In other words, we not only sinned, but we failed to obey. In this we did not fulfill the righteousness required of us. How and when is the righteousness of Christ imputed to angels?

Evil is a state of mind...
You and me commit evil even now.
How do we nullify evil?
Change your thinking = repentance.
Sound doctrine counteracts evil.
Repentance is a decision to conform to sound doctrine.
We sin by impulse, because we are fleshly which will over ride our soul.
Angels are not soul. They are spirit.
Spirit remains being spiritual in its perception.
As for us?
Being born with fallen flesh makes us DEAD and blind to what is spiritual.
That is why we need to become born again.. to make us capable to be spiritual more like angels in their perceptive abilities.

Jesus became flesh and blood.
He died for our sins of the flesh.
Our flesh dies, but our souls continue to live on.
Angels are spirit.
Spirit can not die.
Their problem was WRONG THINKING.
Wrong thinking that opposes God's thinking is evil, not sin.
Jesus died for sins.
Jesus could not die for evil.
No man is going to Hell for his sins.
Jesus paid the penalty for all mankind's sins.
Man is going to Hell for his evil. His sins have been paid for.
Believers are going to be denied eternal rewards for the evil they refused to repent of.
They will not lose their salvation.

Angels do not have bodies that become fallen when they sinned.
The angels that fell, lost their bodies!
That is why we only read of angels appearing in bodily form!
Its why demons crave to possess a body!
Even if its a body of a swine!
Only God's angels can materialize.
Not demons...
Man died spiritually when he fell.
Angels that rebelled?
They died physically when they fell.
They lost their ability to materialize physically.

Yes, there is but one spiritual, not human, seed, and all who are of the promise are of that spiritual seed, including Christ.
In the following verses, all references to "seed" are in the singular. I'm guessing that was the point of your post above.
[Psa 22:23 KJV]
23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
[Psa 22:30 KJV]
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
[Psa 22:23 KJV]
23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
[Psa 105:6 KJV]
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
[Mat 13:38 KJV]
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
[Heb 2:11 KJV]
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
The baptism in view is spiritual baptism given by the Holy Spirit, not water baptism given by man. Those who become baptized by the Holy Spirit had been designated by God as His heirs - the heirs of His will. They cannot be added to nor removed.
[1Pe 3:21 KJV]
21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
[Rev 1:5,6 KJV]
5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Yes, to truly believe comes from/by the faith given by God as a gift when one is saved/born again. True belief originates solely with God not man. They cannot be damned because they have been saved and their belief a result of that salvation.
[Jhn 6:29 KJV]
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
[Phl 1:29 KJV]
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

If you keep distorting what I said?
And, try to condemn me for something that you distorted, not what I said?
Its going to make you look stupid.
For anybody can look back and see what I did say.
You are doing now just like the liberal media tried for years against those who stood for freedom.
And... look now, where doing that, got them.
Your day will come, too.

This is a basic fundamental of Bible doctrine 101. And very, very few believers know it or believe it.
Christ paid for all sin, but he did not pay for evil.......And human good is evil.
All sin is evil, but not all evil is sin.
Great post!
Rev 20:12~~And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
All sin is paid for, but human good and evil is NOT. Human good and "working" for ones salvation is arguably Satan's biggest and most dangerous deception. At the final judgement, human good is judged not sin.
Matt 7:23~~Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

According to their deeds = their works.
Why will the unbeliever be condemned after his works are reviewed?
Because...... one single work will not be found.
This one, single work.
We know that we are not saved by works.
Works were a list of deeds to perform as a means to gain the approval of God.
Works was an invention of legalistic religion.
Only one work God accepts onto salvation.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ."
That is the one work will not be found for the unbeliever who will face condemnation.
grace and peace !

Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Jesus answered and said to them,
“Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” ” John 6:28-29
