A:

In Matthew's Gospel, it is possible to say yes, Judas was saved, but in Acts of the Apostles the answer is no, so it depends on which source we rely on.

Matthew 27:3-5 says that Judas repented of what he had done and took the thirty pieces of silver back to the Temple and cast them down at the priests. He then went away and hanged himself. Dennis R. MacDonald (Two Shipwrecked Gospels) points out that his repentance was made necessary by a traditional saying that was included in Matthew 19:28, in which Jesus clearly promises all twelve apostles who were with him, including Judas, thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. That would be incongruous unless Judas repented and was forgiven and saved.

Another account in Acts of the Apostles shows Judas to be unrepentant. No doubt pleased to be suddenly rich, he purchased a field with the money he had received (Acts 1:19). Unfortunately for him, he fell down and died, his bowels gushing out in the field he bought.

Answer:

As with anyone else since the Crucifixion, no one but Judas and God could ever say with any certainty.
