Which is a non-answer if ever there was one. It was simply an evasion of answering the question.
So if you don’t have time to think to ask for forgiveness, cause car wrecks happen fairly quickly and usually without warning, you would not be saved???
It is not for us to say who would or would not be saved. Only God can look into our hearts and make that judgement.

I agree it is a non-answer, but it wasn’t because I was evading an answer. Well, maybe it was. You see, I cannot find it in my heart to say someone will not be saved, even in a hypothetical situation. The bible tells us over and over again that we should not judge others; rather, we should always forgive.
The following verses guide me:
Lke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Rom 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Mk 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mt 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Rom 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
Let me put it this way. Do you think that Osama Bin Laden had a change of heart before he died and ask God to forgive his sins? Not likely. But we are called as Christians to pray for him and hope that he had a conversion of heart. As much as we may want to hope that he went to his eternal damnation, we cannot hope for that or we call eternal damnation on ourselves.
