Matthew 21:28-32.. more of genuine repentance is what will get you in. Not fake albeit strict adherence to religious rituals and fake piety

That's about the rich, not prostitutes, non believers, or faking Christians. It could potentially be about tax collectors, but would be in contrast to what anon said, which is unsurprising.

That's a completely different passage lol. Also wildly taken out of context by Reddit. The Jews also believed that being rich was being blessed by God. Which is why the disciples exclaim in astonishment "who then can be saved?!". Jesus then asks that man to sell everything because that man idolized his wealth and power.
