Thats a great question. Right off the bat, I thought, no, but then after thinking some more, I realized I have no clue. Judas showed remorse and great grief after he handed over Jesus, so much so that he threw the blood money away and took his own life. Would this be considered evidence of a new belief and repentance for his sin, or simply guilt because he knew Jesus did not deserve to die, as he said in
Matthew 27:3-4
Quote:
3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that

As for Cain, There is no account of the manner in which he died that I could find. God showed him mercy, in the face of his sin, by cursing anyone who killed him with His vengeance seven times, but He is never said to have looked favorably on Cain. I'd guess no, Cain is not in Heaven
