I think there is a general consensus that Judas Iscarrot did not save, he spent it while he could. It is also generally believed that he did make a killing.

For centuries theologians and philosophers have debated the question of just how much freedom we have—so I doubt if I can solve it in just a few paragraphs!
Nevertheless, the Bible makes it clear that Judas was entirely responsible for the decision he made to betray Jesus. It was a deliberate act on his part; it wasn't done in a sudden burst of anger or a fit of uncontrolled rage. He sought out those who were opposed to Jesus and offered to reveal where He could be found. Once they paid him, Judas "watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present" (Luke 22:6).
At the same time, God knew what Judas would do, and in ways we can't fully understand, God directed Judas' path. Many centuries before, the prophet Zechariah had predicted the Messiah would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (see Zechariah 11:12-13). Now, in God's providence, that prophecy was fulfilled by Judas' treachery.
The story of Judas is one of the most tragic in Scripture. He had been with the Lord almost since the beginning of His ministry; he had seen Jesus perform miracles and heard His teaching. And yet in his heart, he was not a believer. May this not be true of you or of anyone reading this column. Instead, make sure of your salvation by humbly turning in faith to Christ.

JESUS said at John 17:12..not one of them is destroyed except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fullfilled.
The prophecy about Judas is at Psalm 109:8 Let his days prove to be few; His office of oversight let someone else take. see Acts 1:20,..
25) Judas deviated to go to his own place.
He was an unrepentant thief, whom Satan could control. He was greedy and would obviously do anything for money. It shows how some will do wrong even in the face of great signs and wonders.

Judas Iscariot does not save anybody. He couldn't even save himself.

Did you mean Was Judas saved?
It depends....
Did he repent his sin?
Did Jesus actually ask Judas to betray him so the wheels could be set in motion?
This is a question I always thought of...
If it was preordained that Judas betray Christ then he didn't have a choice so why would God punish him?
This is something we can ponder over but never actually know.

I think he must have been. He did what had to be done for the Crucifixion to happen. If Judas had not turned Jesus in Nobody would have got saved. You could almost say Judas saved us by sacrficing Jesus, his master.

Judas was forgiven by Jesus.(even before the act happened, Judas denied that he would do such a thing to Jesus but Jesus told him otherwise and let him know that he was already forgiven. ) then because of his own guilt of betrayal Judas committed another big NO NO by taking his own life.

Judas Iscariot, according to scripture, died in his sins and was therefore unsaved.

a Big NO! Remember when Judas hanged himself he broke one of the 10 commandment "Thou shall not kill"
Should judas repent, he could have been save, unlike one of the thief in calvary, he repented and Jesus told him "today thou shall be with me in paradise"
If Judas did the same thing he could have been forgiven of his sins for betraying Jesus.
Many times God uses people to attain his purpose and plan, but this doen't means that God deprived us of our choice, Judas could have chosen to repent thereby obtaining pardon from God, but he opted to kill himself instead of repenting and lived and do his duty as an apostle.

I would say he was. If the whole Jesus thing was part of a divine plan the Judas only did what he had to.
