What must be done before rebirth in the hell realms becomes inevitable?

Accepted answer
Five offences in Buddhism which are said to irrevocably propel the offender into hell are:
- patricide,
- matricide,
- killing an Arhat,
- injuring a Buddha,
- creating schism in the Sangha
Smaller offenses like common murder, adultery etc. can still be "repaired" even if with great difficulties.
