Everyone remembers the bit about "let he who is without sin cast the first stone", but they conveniently forget what Jesus said to the woman: "Go and sin no more."
This verse about the woman only appears in younger manuscripts, and is absent in older manuscripts, therefore, many bibles have a note saying that these verses may be a forgery.
But yes, I would agree, forgiveness depends upon repentance.
Churchians always irk me because they constantly pull this shit. Just like trying to pawn off “born again” single moms on men who often don’t know better. The flat out need to lie and pretend women are the same as they were 60 years ago is baffling.
I was on Reddit and some woman wrote that she won't believe anything in or about the Bible except her interpretation that it means be kind and don't judge people.
The homily the other week covered this.

Forgiveness depends upon contrition.
Thankyou!
Modernists try and make out that our need to be forgiving is a free pass for whatever degenerate nonsense they come up with next.
They'll get their forgiveness when their repentance allows it, before then what they get is pity.

A lot of people tried to tell them to wait and see before celebrating and publicising this woman. Got labelled as haters
