Which person do you think is more like to sincerely repent?
I think it depends on what you mean by "sincerely repent".
I would think that the threat of imminent execution would tend to be productive of at least imperfect contrition. If by "sincerely repent" you mean productive of perfect contrition, it seems impossible to say as a general rule.

Judge not that you be not judged.
The Church has told us these things...

And you think you know.  It is just as bad to go around being judgemental.  It is not your job.  Your job is to save your own soul. 

If you had stopped before the bold and I wouldn't have commented, because you were just stating a fact, but then you had to give your personal opinion in regards to the poster.
The bold part was also a fact.

Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world?

I don't understand all this judge/judgemental stuff.
You can judge something that has happened where you have all the facts....you can't judge the future.

This poll is asking you to S P E C U L A T E  on something that could happen in the future.
No one is asking anyone to proclaim dogma, just give your opinion based on logic, common sense and what you know of the teaching of Christ and his church.
