In those verses you leave out an important aspect of repentance for the remission of sins .....
baptism. It was called the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. These folks coming to John the Baptist confessed their sins and were baptized.
Mark 1:5 What I'm trying to say is they were not only repenting apart from baptism as in
Acts 2:28 but they were being baptized unto repentance for the remission of sins. Matt 3:11 Water baptism was a necessary ingredient.

The phrase “repentance and remission of sins” in the Nestle Aland Greek version of Luke 24:47 is “metanoia eis aphesis” which is everywhere else interpreted “repentance FOR (EIS) the remission of sins.”
Mark 1:4
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for (eis) the remission of sins.
Luke 3:3
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for (eis) the remission of sins;
John’s baptism pointed to repentance which was FOR the remission of sins.

You cannot find "preached through faith in the name of Jesus" in
Acts 10:43. That is you interpretation of what it says. I would say that "through his name whosoever believeth in him" means exactly what it say...the name of Jesus is somehow involved in the remission of sins. And I suggest it is when we call on his name at water baptism as Paul was commanded to do in
Acts 22:16 that we invoke the Spirit of Christ to perform a spiritual circumcision in our hearts.

There is strong evidence to suggest that Luke 24:47 teaches that “repentance FOR (EIS) the remission of sins” was to be preached through faith in the name of Jesus!
Acts 10:43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
The repenting heart returning to God via faith in Jesus Christ absolutely SHALL receive the remission / forgiveness of sins.
