No. Forgiveness requires exactly one person. You. It doesn't depend on anybody earning or deserving it accepting it. It's a pure decision that you make in your heart. You don't even need to tell anybody about it. You should also have contrition and accept forgiveness, but that is the other side of the deal. The interesting connection is that you will fail at this end if you fail at that end. This has been known for a long time. Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. That's an equation. It's the equation that built our civilization.
