He DOES mention “REPENT” in the first paragraph. You have to PRAY to the Lord to even have a means to repent.
See? You’re splitting hairs. Whenever you say to most Americans “repent,” they twist and turn and grit their teeth so as to avoid repenting. A much more responsive and pentinent answer would have been to reply, “Yes, I agree. Thank you.” The pride that most Americans carry is astounding. I know because I have to repent of my pride often.
