Holla Hamlet Generative Questions

Is Laertes’s confession and apology to Hamlet right before he dies sincere or is it in a selfish effort to escape purgatory?

How can Hamlet assume he will be accepted in heaven (“Heaven make thee free of it. I follow thee.” (5.2.364)) when he has never apologized for his sins and has never shown any remorse?

Is Hamlet selfish to demand Horatio remain alive to tell his story?
