Well, Michael was a cold, calculating, vicious bastard, and if there's a Hell for fictional characters, he's roasting in it right now. But, I don't think it's beyond anyone entering his/her twilight years to start thinking about the hereafter and trying to buy his/her way into Heaven, whether it's Sinatra building hospitals (real life) of Michael getting a private audience with the Pope (reel life), they believed you should "never underestimate the power of forgiveness."
