Of course.
So do not worry about the hypothetical.
But that's the shell game, isn't it? Everyone is broken according to the standards of the dogma in question, either through actions and thoughts in life or simply by virtue of being born. "Created sick and ordered to be well", as the immortal Hitch had it. Along comes the salesman to sell you the concept of redemption and if you sign up now you get the gift of eternal life absolutely free!*
*(Disclaimer: "absolutely free" is not a guarantee. Costs to your opinions of others will be excessive and costs to other areas of your life, especially critical thinking skills, will be considerably more. Your mileage will vary. The chances of your eternal redemption can go down as well as up.)
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
