It’s a primarily a Catholic thing. The reasoning is that for every sin you commit, you must ask forgiveness (confession). By committing suicide, you have committed a sin but cannot ask for forgiveness and are thus condemned.
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ for me it’s you believe in an all powerful omnipresent and all the other Omni deity that grants you entrance to an eternal afterlife and knowing the concept of humanity is born into sin and nothing we do truly makes us sinless combined with 'Once saved, always saved" why would this one sin prevent you entry? Some would argue cardinal sins or some sins carry more weight but all sin is equal. Humans give sin a tier system. Not God.

I never understood why you couldn’t ask posthumously
It’s almost as if it’s a bunch of nonsense

Can you beg for forgiveness before doing the suicide?
No. Being able to do that was why Martin Luther had the whole problem with indulgences.
You could pay the church to forgive a sin before committing it.
