Are you telling me that God would reward a guy who ruined an entire family's collective lives?
So if this guy diddled kids for 60 years.. Scores and scores of them. Mocked God, murdered his own mother, stole millions of dollars, then repented on his death bed, God would give him a spot before the throne?
NO.
His debt will be repaid and his judgement will be severe.

Reward would be the wrong word, and if your plan is to do a death bed confession, it is not real repentance, nor was it ever going to be. It's not a 'oh, wait, I'm sorry or whatever'.
'And the legionnaire came to Jesus and said, 'Lord, verily I have been a bad man. My soul is burdened greatly with the suffering I have inflicted upon others. Though I have tried, surely no earthy deeds may redeem me. Cleanse me and let me be born anew.' And thus Jesus spake 'Nope. Too much sin, not enough cross.' - The Gospel of Markus 3:14
Or, my favourite verse.
'And the dying goat rapist limped up to Jesus and exsanguinated, 'Yo. I might be sorry about stuff.' And Jesus shrugged, 'Yeah, sounds real.' - Lucas 12:34
God knows what's in our hearts and we can't lie to Him. He alone knows if we truly repent and it's frankly arrogant for us humans to try to figure out is someone is genuinely sorry or not.
Do you understand what repentance for that kind of act would entail? He would need to feel, in himself, the pain he caused his victims, their families, and the society he damaged for 60 years, on his death bed, willingly. Anything less than that is not repentance.
If he's willing to do that, then yeah, I believe Jesus would stand beside him.
