Repentance is necessary to be forgiven by God but repentance alone can't do anything. Just like any other human action can't score points with God.
Anyhow, we have no idea what Lt Scott's thoughts on the matter of forgiveness are, or whether he still believes or accepts that his actions are wrong and require forgiveness. So we don't really have enough information to judge.
