Stopping Before Fornication

Ok. According to this hadith:- Ibn ‘Abbas said “I did not see anything more resembling to minor sins than what Abu Hurairah reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) who said “Allaah has decreed for the children of Adam a share in adultery, he will get it by all means, the adultery of eyes is looking; the adultery of tongue is speaking; the soul desires and has a passion; the private parts confirms or falsifies it.” The undestanding taken from this hadith by ghamidi sb. that If a person crosses all the boundaries but stops before intercourse by fearing Allah then Allah will won’t question him but If not then Allah will question him. So my understanding is All of these things will be taken into consideration only when zina will take place or else it won’t. The another question which lies within this question is “does it mean that the fornicator/fornicatress will not be forgiven ?. Cause according to my understanding of this hadith Allah will question if it take place. But if a person repent later I strongly believe that the person will be forgiven . Even most the the scholar says this too. According to my knowledge A person won’t be forgiven if he does sins all of his life but start to repent on his death bed and a person who dies as a mushrik knowingly. So according to this If a person did big sins knowinlgy or not knowingly but repent later and mend his way then he will surely be forgiven by Allah. I mentioned the word “knowingly” because sometimes even after knowing a person commit sins.Sometimes what it takes after knowledge is realization and Change. It’s not possible for a person to change suddenly after having a knowlegde on a particular thing. How he grew up, his past, how he got affected I think All of these things depends. The main factor according to me is how much a person is trying, how much he is capable to try from time to time. This is what matters the most. And A person can be guided by Allah at any time and Also no matter what the time is If a person mend his way or try to mend his way then Allah will surely give mercy to him . Correct me If I Am wrong.
