I was a sinner. I sinned before I prayed and I sinned after I prayed. I didn't repent until about 5-6 months later. But I know that God heard my prayer because He answered it.
I don't know, Prax, if I understand what you are saying.

We are justified by faith, not by repentance. We are regarded to be just persons, by our faith through Christs own Righteousness in the eyes of God.
We are righteous...but not because our works are righteous or perfect but because Christ's righteousness is imputed to us, not imparted to us
