Yes. He got the concept of forgiveness enuf to offer it to someone else in a deeply meaningful situation (to put it mildly)--the opposite of the way he'd been living up until then. Might not have had all of his theological ducks in a perfect row, but I do believe he got that Jesus forgives. And saves.
I'm right there with ya. It's not what words you say or don't say, it's what is in your heart. And there's no foolin' Jesus. He knows, one way or the other.
This is a great question. I wasn't sure after I read the book and kept wondering. I think it could go either way, depending on which you'd prefer as a reader. There was enough hope in there that I think it's possible he came to terms with God by the end. I hope he did!

Yep. I bet heaven's full of people who never heard of the Four Spiritual Laws and altar calls.
Wouldn't heaven be fun if our favorite fictional characters could be there, too? Okay, sorry,
that was way off topic....
