No, you can be forgiven now.
You do not even have to earn it.
It is a gift of God.
If you have sorrow in your heart for your sins,
and believe that Jesus died for you to be forgiven,
All you have to do is express this and ask God to forgive you in prayer. Nothing formal, just talk to Him like you are talking with a friend. A broken and contrite heart He will not cast out.
Please email me if you have any questions,
or maybe find a Christian friend or a priest/pastor to help you.
May God bless you with His love, mercy and grace..

No. You need only ask forgiveness once, and your sins will be forgiven and forgotten as far as the East is from the West.

Jesus died once and he bore the sins of the world at that time. To be saved and make it into heaven you have to confess your sins and repent of them one time and thats it. This covers all your sins past, present & future. Although we must confess our sins daily after that so that we keep that close relationship with God, but this isn't necessary to get into heaven.

No. Think of King Manasseh who was King of Judah. He was so wicked. In 2 Kings 2:6, 7, it says, "he made his own son pass through the fire, and he practiced magic and looked for omens and made spirit mediums and professional foretellers of events. He did on a large scale what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, to offend him."
Because he was so wicked and went against what Jehovah God had said, he was punished. But later on, forgiven. 2 Chronicles 33:12, 13 says, "And as soon as it caused him distress, he softened the face of Jehovah his God and kept humbling himself greatly because of the God of his forefathers.  And he kept praying to Him, so that He let himself be entreated by him and He heard his request for favor and restored him to Jerusalem to his kingship; and Ma·nas′seh came to know that Jehovah is the [true] God."
Also, Jonah did the exact opposite of what God asked of him. God said to Jonah in Jonah 1:2 “Get up, go to Nin′e·veh the great city, and proclaim against her that their badness has come up before me.”
And what did Jonah do? He went in the exact opposite direction that God told him to go. Do you know what it is to do the exact opposite? Jonah basically said, "God, you must out of your mind!" He then went on a ship to Tarshish. But in the end, once Jonah was in the big fish (Jonah 1:17), "Jo′nah prayed to Jehovah his God from the inward parts of the fish and said: “Out of my distress I called out to Jehovah, and he proceeded to answer me. Out of the belly of She′ol I cried for help. You heard my voice." ' - Johan 2:1
He repented and went on to do what was asked of him with the forgiveness of God.
If you are truly sorry for what ever it is that you have done, then God "is ready to forgive." (Psalms 86:5)
