My answer I gave myself was that Judas Iscariot was never saved.What answer did you give yourself?
The only key I could find prior to him turning in Jesus is that there is nothing in Scripture that says he ever called Jesus "Lord".
He always called him rabbi, which is a title of respect but not a title to recognize him as
God.
Now this does not prove anything but Jesus did call him a devil and one would have to wonder if a human "devil" could have been saved.
As far as being in Christ, He was called by Jesus to be an apostle, he did the works of an Apostle, would have to be considered to be in Christ as the other Apostles, but was never saved.
Final acts on earth, turn in Jesus and then commit suicide.
No, I don't believe he was saved but he was in Christ.
