so why would Jesus say he would see him in paradise, whether it was today or a future resurrection, if he was an unrepentant sinner?

Why would Jesus resurrect the “unrighteous”? (Act 24:15)
John 5:28, 29 says those whom Jesus remembered, those in the “memorial” tombs would be resurrected to two different outcomes, life and the judgment of death.
There are millions of unrepentant sinners long dead, think of the people in far distant places of thousands of years ago that never had any chance to hear the gospel or to repent or to put faith in Christ.
Might not they be among the “unrighteous” that would be resurrected, or are they simply lost?
