If you really believe, and there's an all knowing, all loving, all powerful god, even the idea of having to pray for forgiveness makes no sense. God would already know. But because Christianity originally developed as a doomsday cult and was co-opted by royalty to keep the people in line it's not shocking the aberrations that develop.
Also, my point was that if he has had a conversion moment that should properly involve a literal conversion, repentance, and a resolution to do the right thing going forward, not the language he's using implying "earning" his way into heaven.
It’s just sad. There’s a ton more that I could really say but anyone who has dealt with moving away from Christianity or evangelicalism largely already understands.
