The majority of people in Hell are there because we were unrepentant sinners in life. We've all done terrible things and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near those who reached Heaven to begin with. No no no no, the chance we had was the life we lived before! There is no undoing what has been done!
[Ah, Zelda! You've gotten to know him so well!]
But not everyone down there is a complete monster. Some people ended up down there by making terrible mistakes that they regret even without the punishment of Hell. Circumstances differ, but for whatever reason they weren't as bad as the rest of us. Unfortunately, they're the ones who usually die during the annual Extermination. The nastier and by extention stronger demons will force them out of whatever shelter they've made for themselves and leave them for the angels to slaughter. I don't think Charlie will ever succeed in getting a demon into Heaven but I do admit that those sinners who just want to get by and don't partake in any of the more heinous sins don't deserve to be erased.
[He shrugs.]
Besides, if Charlie succeeds, imagine the chaos that would result from it: Thousands of years of precedent suddenly thrown out the window! Now there's a show I want front row seats for!
