Judas did what he was asked to do! If he didn't turn Jesus over to the priests and scribes there would not have been a Crucifixion, there would not have been a Resurrection and there would not be any Christianity !

It depends on which religion you belong to. In Christianity, Judas would definitely have been in commission of perdition when he took his life. Up to the point of his taking his own life, he would not have been.
The teachings of the Catholic Church state that Judas was guilty of perdition when he took his own life. Suicide in the Catholic Church means that in the commission of one of the seven deadly sins, despair, he abandoned God.
But if you look on other religious cultures, the feelings are mixed. Most religions, Islam the exception, God forgives everything, even repeat offenses. Judas committed an act of greed by turning Jesus over for 30 pieces of silver. That was forgivable. But when he committed suicide, then he didn't acknowledge God's universal forgiveness. In that case, he committed perdition.

Yes he was the son of perdition.
The first prophecy in the Bible concerns the Anti-Christ. Enmity was put between Satan and the woman. The seed of the woman (Jesus) would bruise the head of Satan's seed (Judas).
This happened when Judas hung himself. Satan's seed (Judas) bruised the heel of the seed of the woman (Jesus). This happened when Judas betrayed Jesus and they put Jesus on the cross.
Gen. 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. KJV
The Anti-Christ must be a Jew and a reprobate:
Dan. 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of a woman, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. KJV
Jesus said that he had chosen twelve apostles and that one was a devil:
John 6:70 Jesus answered them, have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Jesus said that Judas was the Son of Perdition:
(Webster's definition: The loss of the soul or of hope for salvation; damnation; the place or condition of damnation; hell.)
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the Son of Perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (KJV)
Paul said that the man of sin was the son of perdition:
II Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition: KJV
There was only one man in the Bible who did not go to Heaven or Hell, but went to his own place:
Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. KJV
The Anti-Christ will come out of the Bottomless Pit. He will not be born, but will be resurrected. He must do what Jesus did in order for the people to believe that he is the Christ:
Rev.17: 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. KJV
