With such scenarios, I am obviously glad for them to turn to Jesus as their savior, but I've been burned far too many times to trust these people aren't lying. We shall have to let their actions speak for them.
People turning to Jesus after years of gleeful, hedonistic sin is the same as a woman trying to "settle down" after spending her youth being a slut.
Its often entirely self serving, if they even mean it at all beyond the veneer. If they mean it truly, they should be doing so in humble appreciation of a second chance, rather than screaming about it for attention.

Or at least buy indulgences from the pope, free sin passes, like in the good ol' days.
Know them by their fruit.
