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.
