He went on to explain that what he meant was not that he had killed anyone but led them away. He was talking about causing spiritual death. He spent the rest of his life trying to reclaim those he had led away, and I think he brought far more souls back than he ever led away, and repaired all the damage he had done. Now that is true repentance.

And Cain is definitely not going to be saved, he was called a Son of Perdition, meaning his lot is with Satan in Outer Darkness.

David’s repentance may not have been complete enough because he lost his exaltation, as Gramps referenced in D&C 132:39.
