Ya know, Silk....There's to me not so much the question of God accepting a repenting person in this life, the Prodigious ....The BIG question is whether that person is willing to be as regretful, self-condemning and willing to come to Him and be changed...or if the ego refuses admission of total wrong.
I'm uncertain what you mean. I am always astounded when I find I am wrong but I've never hesitated in saying so and adopting the "right". That's with people - God already knew I was wrong and still loves me enough to bring me to the person(s) who know some of the truth. I do have an ego and I have to wrastle it to the ground sometimes, but again - that's with people. With God, pride/ego doesn't come into play for me, except to say to Him - Ooops. And He tells me, make amends, it's ok, and don't do it again. I'm only learning now, having been my own worst judge, to not wallow in my mistakes but move forward into the light.
