You are not asking for or wanting forgiveness so you don't get forgiveness.

You can imagine that a person who hates God or feels they are perfectly holy as is -- or whatever-- is unable to be forgiven.

Remember too that The Bible states the necessity of holiness in order to see God. We are wont to gloss over that as pietistic fluff, but it is possibly the most important of all Bible teachings.

Sermon 1. Holiness Necessary for Future Blessedness

"Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." Hebrews xii. 14.

"

Heaven then is not like this world; I will say what it is much more like,-a church. For in a place of public worship no language of this world is heard; there are no schemes brought forward for temporal objects, great or small; no information how to strengthen our worldly interests, extend our influence, or establish our credit. These things indeed may be right in their way, so that we do not set our hearts upon them; still (I repeat), it is certain that we hear nothing of them in a church. Here we hear solely and entirely of God. We praise Him, worship Him, sing to Him, thank Him, confess to Him, give ourselves up to Him, and ask His blessing. And therefore, a church is like heaven; viz. because both in the one and the other, there is one single sovereign subject-religion-brought before us. "
