Correct. That is the premise of the gospel/new testament. Anyone from Saban to Stalin can be saved and live eternally with God. The scriptures basically say that:
1. All people have sinned and therefore are subject to hell/eternal separation from God.
2. God loves all people since He created them and gave his son Jesus as a living sacrifice to bear the sins of all mankind.
3. To spend eternity with God, a person must fully believe in Jesus and give their life over to him though confession (of sins), repentance, and obedience to the gospel which includes baptism and living the rest of their lives (whether that life lasts 1 day or 100 years) as a servant of God. **Feel free to DM me for any specific verses**

For example, a thief crucified next to Jesus professed his faith in Jesus as they were both hours from death. Jesus immediately told the thief that he would be in Paradise with Him. So yes, according to Scripture, Hitler et al. COULD be saved if they chose to recognize their atrocities as sins, and asked Jesus whom they recognize as the God's son and the Savior for forgiveness and grace. Of course Hitler most likely killed himself while in a pit so it's unlikely he had a change of heart. Likewise, I doubt every deathbed confession is genuine, but I am not the Judge.
