Yes, he is. Even after he betrayed Jesus he repented and threw back the silver he earned. He asked for forgiveness. And no matter what happend once we are believers God never lets us stary to far from Him. Judas made a mistake but he is human, his faith did not change. He just sinned. And God forgives sin.

Frankly what we believe does not matter. According to the [Christian] bible, God, not man, judges.
Everything we know about Judas Iscariot in the Gospels and Acts. We know he saw the resurrected Jesus but did not believe that Jesus was the Christ.
Judas had choices which he made (again documented in the Gospels and Acts). Only God can judge those choices.

I don't know about canonical theology, but Dante has him being chewed in one of Satan's three mouths in the Divine Comedy. It's quite an amusing passage, actually.
Essentially the same question as Milton's depiction of Satan: was he born to fall? Not according to doctrine, but in many ways it makes it easier to accept, doesn't it?

GOD uses vessels for honor and dishonor. We have total free will if we choose to use it and we can choose GOD's will. GOD knows how it will all turn out but we are in control. What Judas did would of made him cursed. We can not know the state of his heart afterward and his belief in Jesus as the Holy One of Israel so his fate would be impossible to know.

Judas, who betrayed Jesus, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? Look thou to it. And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter."
Yes I would say he went to heaven because he asked for forgiveness and repented for his betrayal

heaven is a state of mind no-one actually goes there just as hell is on earth nothing escapes death not you not me not your phony deities nothing what so ever . that is the fact of life we all live with whether you are too cowardly to realize or not. Cowards run from this simple truthful fact of life death is the end period

Hecommitted suicide afterwards, so possibly he went to heaven if God truly accepts the sick of mind and spirit along with the sick of body.
