Most Protestant versions of Christianity hold that everyone, repentant or not, is deserving of eternal damnation. Of course, I question the benefits of that soteriology, but it should be pointed out that (in theory, at least), Protestants view themselves as being just as damnable as everyone else.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
