Sorry... don't agree..
Where Saul/Paul was before he accepted Jesus as Lord is irrelevant. What Judas did is irrelevant.
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. (show me where he said Abraham was a religious fanatic -- or that it is said anywhere in the entire Bible.)
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. - the sacrifice is clear.
As Jesus put it.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
AMP
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”[/URL]
There were many that were called Judas.
1. Judas Maccabaeus. 2. Judas Iscariot. 3. Judas, brother of our Lord who wrote the Book of Jude. 4. Judas (Son or Brother) of James. 5. Judas Leader of a revolt against Rome. 6. Judas surnamed Barsabass, a leading member of the church. 7. Judas a man of Damascus with whom Paul lodged after his conversion.
It could have been Judas the brother or son of James.
Paul teaches the exact opposite doctrine that Jesus taught and people need to see that fact.
Jesus said call no man father because God is the father of us all and Paul denies that truth, disobeying Jesus refusing to support what Jesus taught, by saying Abraham is the father of us all.
Matthew 23:9
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
Yet Paul claims Abraham is the father of us all through his faith/ beliefs that declare a promised by God son of Abraham Christ so all the seed/followers of Abraham are blessed.
Romans 4:16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Romans 4:12
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised."
Apostle Peter told Paul that the doctrine of circumcision is not taught by Jesus, it is not supported in their church, yet Paul refuses to let go of his traditional belief in circumcision because it exalts the covenant Abraham claims is from God as truth. After Peter told Paul to not circumcise as a religious belief in Abraham, Paul circumcises a Geek man's son in defiance to what Jesus taught and requires his followers to exalt Abraham's covenant in their spiritual beliefs as a spiritual circumcision.
Paul claims God swore an oath to Abraham and Jesus taught that did not happen. God does not swear oaths.
Luke 1:73, The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, "
Paul said Jesus is the son of Abraham and Jesus declares that is not true, Abraham is not God, no man is a God. Jesus has one Father and that is God.
Paul dishonors Jesus by claiming Jesus Christ is a son of Abraham.
In John 8, Jesus said to Pharisees that would have included Paul because Pharisees were all of the exact same beliefs , "but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me."
When Paul bends the knee to the father of Jesus in Paul's beliefs that is service to Abraham because Paul does not believe in a virgin birth. Paul believes the only way Jesus can be Christ is because joseph fornicated with Mary passing the seed of David to Jesus.
Paul cursed the Angel of God that said Mary will have a virgin birth because "virgin birth" is not Paul's gospel.
Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."
Paul and the people that preach Paul's gospel exalt Abraham as the father of Christ.
Jews like Paul bless the kingdom of David the father of their Christ. Paul supports the High Priests belief that "the God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham".
John 10:36
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"
The Pharisees accuse Jesus of blasphemy for calling himself the Christ teaching the Words of God but saying he is not a son of Abraham.
John 8:56
YOUR father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad." Jesus denies Abraham is HIS father!
If Abraham was the father of Jesus then Jesus would have said, OUR father Abraham. Jesus, the Son of God, rejects the liar Abraham and there is no blood of David or Abraham in him so Abraham is not the father of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 3:9
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
This is saying a stone has as much life in it as a follower/son of Abraham. They have no everlasting life as they stone people to death for not believing the lies they believe are truth. People follow Abraham out of fear for their own life if they do not believe and serve his lies.
