I did not say repentance was a work, I said repentance was in connection with God the Father, who is declared to be the judge of the whole earth. Repentance therefore is an attitude and consciousness of us sinners about our deeds that are contrary to the known laws of God and our repentance is directed towards God and is 1/2 of the equation of salvation. If repentance is all one has he is not saved. Repentance in itself cannot do anything about sins we have on our account and the Judge, good as he is, cannot receive us on the basis of repentance alone, albeit he will not save us without it.
If you think the scriptures teach something specific about repentance that I have not considered, then make your case from the scriptures and I will take a look.
