Why not be a Nazi? They just get automatic forgiveness just like Mother Theresa, right?

According to the parable of the workers in the vineyard, the answer is basically....yes.

It's why that one is so hard for many of us to accept. But it's in the Bible.

Well, perhaps I am missing your point.

As I see it, there are two general cases:
1) You are raised in the Church and behave as a solid, believing Christian all of your life.
2) You are a johnny-come-lately and achieve conversion to Christ only at the end of the day.

In each case, your reward shall be the same: salvation in heaven.

But when I used “Nazi” as a category I was not picturing a Johnny-come-lately. I was picturing a Johnny-come-never. Someone who always and forever rejected Christ and the tenets of His teaching.

Shall salvation in heaven be granted even to such a person?

Being saved is a package deal. You don’t end up belonging to you (which is really to end up belonging to the devil). You end up belonging to Christ.
