Yes, that's exactly what is needed. True sorrow for past sins and then forgiveness. As Christ told people, "go out and sin no more," its not that you won't sin, you will, being human. But we shouldn't "put him to the test" by sinning repeatedly while asking for forgiveness, thus slapping him in the face with it. Only sin that was done in error with true sorrow for having done so is worthy of forgiveness.

They could do all that an still turn back from the truth and then go apostate.
"For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come." -Matthew 12:32
What is blasphemy against the spirit? It emanates from the heart, revealing a malicious attitude and intent. The purposeful intent to oppose God’s holy spirit intensifies the seriousness of this sin. To illustrate: In some parts of the world, the law distinguishes between murder in the first degree and murder in the second degree on the basis of intent and the way the murder was committed, and it limits capital punishment (death) to intentional or premeditated murder.
The apostle Paul was formerly a blasphemer but said: “I was shown mercy, because I was ignorant.” (1 Timothy 1:13) To sin against the holy spirit is to oppose it willfully. It involves a wicked heart condition that reaches the point of no return.
Paul was evidently referring to this kind of sin when he wrote: “It is impossible as regards those who have once for all been enlightened, and who have tasted the heavenly free gift, and who have become partakers of holy spirit, and who have tasted the fine word of God and powers of the coming system of things, but who have fallen away, to revive them again to repentance.” (Hebrews 6:4-6) The apostle also said: “If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left.”—Hebrews 10:26.
It was the conduct of some religious leaders in his day that prompted Jesus to warn against the unforgivable sin. But they did not heed his warning. In fact, they had him killed. Later they heard undeniable evidence that the holy spirit had done something miraculous. They were told that Jesus had been brought back from the dead! It was clear that Jesus was the Christ! Still, they acted wickedly against the holy spirit by paying the Roman soldiers to lie about Jesus’ resurrection.—Matthew 28:11-15.

? If you have done this you are forgiven. We sin as Christians though and still need to confess our sins and accept God's forgiveness, but we are never not going to be God's children. Our relationship is as sons and daughters of God.
"If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleans us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
faithful - He will always do it.
just - It is the right thing for him to forgive sin because of what Jesus has done.
Always forgive others just as God forgives us. Otherwise God will whip you good until you realize you too are a sinner and need God's forgiveness continually and the Holy Spirit to guide you. We have nothing good that first God has not given to us through Jesus Christ his only begotten Son.
God bless you.

Yes if they do this!!!
Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
Wahoo!!!

Baptism isn't a requirement for salvation but the acceptance of Christ and the repentance of sins is required.

What you said it what it takes to be forgiven and to find your way into eternal happiness. Nothing else. No works. Nothing. It was a gift. Enjoy it!

no.
what you describe is being "born again".....
"born from above".
If your heart is true, God will be true to His promise.
You are forgiven and God shall see your sins no more,
thanks to the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

If they have done all those things, then all they need to do is thank God for forgiving them. He has already done so.
