Repentance is for the unsaved sinner. When he accepts Christ, he receives remission of sins.
Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
After accepting Christ, we are still fallible and will sin. Confession is for the saved sinner. When he confesses his sins to God, he receives forgiveness of sins.
I John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
For Christians, belief in Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection is understood to forgive past sins and grant salvation. However, sinfulness is seen as an ongoing struggle, and believers may still sin. The difference is that through faith in Christ, they have the means to seek forgiveness and strive to live in accordance with Christ's teachings.
Yes. Of course they are. That is exactly why they need the saving power of Christ.
"...while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5: 8). Among others.

Amen
With His Love that was revealed in His Son Jesus Christ
It never was. We receieve forgiveness when we accept Christ as our saviour, and confess that He is God, Creator, Lord of all.
Yes, He did. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,
In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Jonathan Edwards emphasizes the concept of God's sovereign will and mercy. He explains that it is only God's grace and mercy that prevents sinners from falling into hell immediately. Edwards emphasizes the importance of repentance and turning to God to avoid damnation.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Well, everybody is a sinner (Romans 3:23), except for Christ Jesus (1 Peter 2:22). Since many people in this world are happy, then I guess one could say, yes, sinners are happy. But not all sinners are happy.
