Christianity requires action from a person to reach metanoia (commonly referred to as repentance), not just belief. Surface level 'I repent' is not what Christianity pushes people to explore but consistent reflecting on yourself/your actions. Christianity recognizes that you need to give people the ability to start (or start back up) at any time which often gets used as an excuse to wait to start until right before you die instead of the intended 'it is never too late to try/to start trying again'.
