I found this interesting. The interesting part is the guy looks like a Jesuit priest.
I think what he's saying is mostly spot on. I'd add a bit about faith but I don't see anything wrong with what he said.
What say ye?
Could Demons Come to Christ.

No one can come to Christ except the Father draws him.
I've not thought about that aspect of it...
I agree. The answer is no and yes, this "Jesuit" looking individual pontificated some good points but the bottom line is that Christ, as a man, died for the sins of mankine and not fallen angels (demons).
Likely for the very same reason one cannot turn to Christ after death is the very reason why a demon could never be saved but I believe the scriptures expressly teach that the intent, extent, and application of the atonement is limited only to HUMANS who turn to Christ in repentance and faith.

There's the fundamental answer. The Son became a true man to take the place of men. There's no angelic Messiah to take the place of the demons.
According to John 3:18, so have we.
More specifically, to the elect: For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham. Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people. - Hebrews 2:16-17 BBE
