Is repentance really repentance if the only thing you are sorry for is the consequences?
Beg as he might, God did not show mercy to Faustus because he was not truly repentant.
He lived his entire life out with happiness for his sins, and it was only when the harsh reality of what his deal with the devil would bring him, did he show signs of unhappiness with his choice.
Not unhappiness because he sinned and did not honor God with his life, but rather that he did not get to continue playing as if he were a god.
He made a Faucian deal with the devil. :)
Yes. And as in this scene, he refused to repent.

Faustus was the jab, Fauci is the Booster
