The question is what does it matter? His future is in God's hands now. At the second resurrection, he will either be raised to everlasting life on earth, or he will be raised to a declaration of judgment, after which he will cease to exist, even in the minds of those living. Our concern is what we are doing to be a part of those raised to everlasting life, and not judgment.

It's a half repentance. Repent means to turn back or turn around. That is to turn away from sin and back to God.
Judas only got part of the way before he gave up and took his own life.
Judas played his part in Salvation History. He "offered up" Jesus to those who wished to condemn him.
Peter also betrayed Jesus. Denied him three times.
The difference between the two is that Judas did not ask for God's mercy. Peter did. THAT is repentance.

No. Repentance is more than being sorry for what you did. It is a turning away from your sin, and going to God for forgiveness.
Both Judas and Peter betrayed Jesus. Judas fell into self-pity, rather than repentance, and killed himself. Peter did repent, and returned to Jesus, and was forgiven by Him.

I would certainly think so. And I would like to believe that Judas is in Heaven. But the question must be asked, what did Jesus mean when He said 'it would be better for him if he had never been born'. That doesn't sound very good for Judas...

He was under condemnation not conviction. He had ratted on a bro, the blood money was in his hand, but he had no idea that he was a pawn of the devil. If he had, he would have recognized that Jesus' mission wasn't to free the Jewish nation from Rome, it was to save his soul from the consequences of his sins, and would have confessed and been forgiven.

He couldn't have repented..He had already passed the point of no return(Matthew 12:31)God bless.

Judas was Jesus' number one apostle and was the only one that Jesus could trust to actually go through with "betraying" him.
It wasn't easy, but Judas knew that in order to disprove the illusion of death Jesus would have to be caught and crucified and so he reluctantly went through with it.

No, it was Remorse that led him to do that....see when we sin, or do something wrong we might feel conviction or remorse..the Holy Spirit brings conviction to our hearts, He makes us feel that what we have done is wrong, and therefore sinful, but most importantly that we can be forgiven through Jesus Christ. Remorse is what Satan brings after we sin, he sets us up to fall and when we do fall he makes us feel like there is no forgivness but only condemnation. The important thing is that you can choose which to give in to....Conviction or Remorse.

Did he ask God for forgiveness? That's who he should've repented to.

yes because he was really sorry for being a bad person and he didn't have the chance to repeat the offense.
