I assume that your question includes repentance and acceptance of Christ as Savior. If so, then Father God will not bring up your past sins ever, as they were paid for in full by Christ's death on the cross.

God mercy is endless. Once he forgives, it's forgivnen.
"Confession, one aspect of the Sacrament of Reconciliation which used to receive the greatest emphasis, is now seen as just one step in the total process. Confession of sin can only be sincere if it is preceded by the process of conversion. It is actually the external expression of the interior transformation that conversion has brought about in us. It is a much less significant aspect of the sacrament than we made it out to be in the past. This does not mean that confession is unimportant-only that it is not the essence of the sacrament.
Look at the parable of the Prodigal Son. The father, seeing his son in the distance, runs out to meet him with an embrace and a kiss. Through one loving gesture, the father forgives the son-and the son hasn't even made his confession yet! When he does, it seems the father hardly listens. The confession is not the most important thing here; the important thing is that his son has returned. The son need not beg for forgiveness, he has been forgiven. This is the glorious Good News: God's forgiveness, like God's love, doesn't stop. In this parable, Jesus reveals to us a loving God who simply cannot not forgive!
Of course the new Rite does concern itself with the confession of sins. But one's sinfulness is not always the same as one's sins. And, as a sacrament of healing, Reconciliation addresses the disease (sinfulness) rather than the symptoms (sins). So, the sacrament calls us to more than prepared speeches or lists of sins. We are challenged to search deep into our heart of hearts to discover the struggles, value conflicts and ambiguities (the disease) which cause the sinful acts (the symptoms) to appear.
Celebration is a word we haven't often associated with the Sacrament of Reconciliation. But in Jesus' parable, it is obviously important and imperative. "Quick!" says the father. "Let us celebrate." And why? Because a sinner has converted, repented, confessed and returned."

Yes they are there but covered by the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ, who puts away sin for all eternity.
The day of judgment is the day the trash bin in the temple of heaven gets put out to burn in the lake of fire.
But there is record keeping going on of all your works.
The ones that have been repented of are forgotten to God.

No. Sins that are truly repented for are forgotten by God. As Far as the East is from the West, that is how far your sins are removed when you repent of them. [Psalm 103:12 paraphrased]

Naaar He will not because you have TRULY repented. when you TRULY repent God casts all your sins to the bottoms of the deepest oceans. (that was symbolic language, nobody could go and fish out your sins!!! lol)

Whatever sins we commit after accepting Christ will be used at the judgement seat... for once we have taken Jesus' gift of salvation, we are to rise above our sins... what we do, whether good or bad, will be used to place us in heaven.... the slate before our acceptance is wiped clean... leaving us with a fresh start on life

Of course! Why would the "record" be edited? Judgment is for you to review your life as much as God. It's a learning experience and part of what everyone will have to go through.

If you repent and believe in Christ's death, burial and resurrection. And are saved,your sins are covered by Christ's blood and will not be brought back up in judgement.
The old devil will remind you of your sins and try to torment you with them. You must learn to resist and rebuke the devil. For at the mention of Chris't name, the devil must flee.

No, Christ will be your attorney and will inform the Father that your are His and He'll have forgotten your sin as far as the East is to the West

No. Sins forgiven when you repent are like this: "And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:34)
