Parables and real stories are not the same. Jesus warns us we will be judged as we judge, and forgiven as we forgive.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

So now we agree. According to Jesus a person can have sins forgiven then have them reinstated. Such a person can be rejected by God for all eternity.
A person who is living in sin will be tormented by demons if they are a believer and if they're not willing to forgive others.

Nope we are all sinners. So do you think Hitler will get out?
Ok so you take it literally...so,
- do therefore think there is a literal "mark" that people will have on them?
- Do you think there is a literal "who're of babylon"?
- Do you think there are a literal "4 horsemen of the apocalypse"?
- do you think Jesus will be personally spectating the torture of billions of people as he personally burns them alive for eternity?
And so on and so forth...
