Can angels repent?

Probably not.

By angels, I mean beings that exist in the spirit realm, including Satan.

Humans cannot directly observe the spirit existence of God. We do have the ability to choose to repent and be redeemed by Christ.

Angels can directly observe the spiritual existence of God. They can see that God exists. Yet, they choose to rebel against God.

Jesus says in Matthew 11:

23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
Angels who see the realities of God and still rebel have no excuse. The Bible does not describe any redemptive plan for such beings. They seem to be incapable of repenting.

Jude 1:

6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.
If an angel falls, he is headed for judgment day.

‭‭‭Revelation‬ 20:

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Humans are born in a fallen state of affairs, i.e., we cannot observe God directly. We are given a chance to repent. Angelic beings can observe God directly. They should know better. Once fallen, there is no chance to repent.
 
Apostles are messengers of God called apostles. How beautiful are their feet shod with the gospel

The Greek Angelos is not translated angel . The word angel in that way is a fake word coined in English to replace messenger .

What many call angels (messengers) It would appear to be some sort of unseen imaginary creation working in the shadows like that of what some call patron saint. . the idea disembodied workers with a familiar spirits passed on by the Pharisees with Sadducees to Roman Catholicism and greek orthodox .

We pray one manner our father in heaven not a legion of disembodied spirit gods.I think we stay away from them.

It would be quite difficult to entertain someone a person can't see. Stranger than fiction I would think

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
