In the outer court of the Sanctuary is Justification. In the inner court was Sanctification. Repentance requires both-asking forgiveness (Justified) and changing your ways (Sanctified). Then in the Most Holy place was the Judgement scene, where GOD judges you from His Mercy Seat.
*Let the wicked forsake his way,
*and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
*and let him return unto the LORD,
*and he will have mercy upon him;
*and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7
