As Catholics our “accepting Christ” is baptism when all our sins are washed clean and we are fully connected with God. When we commit a great offense against God such as murder, willfully and with intent we separate ourselves from God by our own choice. Our connection with God can only be restored by an act of perfection contrition and going to confession where our sin can be absolved by a priest, acting through the power instilled in him by the Mediator of grace, Jesus.This is just a hypothetical question.
Suppose a person commits murder after he’s accepted Christ, will his status change from ‘saved’ to ‘doomed’? If so, it means that person’s depravity is greater than Christ’s love and sacrifice.
VII. THE ACTS OF THE PENITENT
1450 "Penance requires . . . the sinner to endure all things willingly, be contrite of heart, confess with the lips, and practice complete humility and fruitful satisfaction."49
Contrition
1451 Among the penitent’s acts contrition occupies first place. Contrition is "sorrow of the soul and detestation for the sin committed, together with the resolution not to sin again."50
1452 When it arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called “perfect” (contrition of charity). Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible.51
1453 The contrition called “imperfect” (or “attrition”) is also a gift of God, a prompting of the Holy Spirit. It is born of the consideration of sin’s ugliness or the fear of eternal damnation and the other penalties threatening the sinner (contrition of fear). Such a stirring of conscience can initiate an interior process which, under the prompting of grace, will be brought to completion by sacramental absolution. By itself however, imperfect contrition cannot obtain the forgiveness of grave sins, but it disposes one to obtain forgiveness in the sacrament of Penance.52
Are you trying to say “once saved, always saved”? So regardless what a person doesThis is just a hypothetical question.

he will confess his sins to a priest, assuming he is contrite and repents of his sin and be absolved, and return to the state of sanctifying grace he enjoyed at his baptism. If he is not yet baptized it means he has not yet fully accepted Christ. When he does, all his sins will be washed away in that sacrament.This is just a hypothetical question.

Christ’s love and sacrifice is greater than anything. He loves you so much that if you decide to send yourself to hell by breaking the 10 commandments he will let you go.This is just a hypothetical question.
