If someone was born on chaos worshipping planet can he still redeem himself and convert to imperial cult? He didn't chose to be surrounded by heretics after all.

I'd imagine the taint of living on a world where the population worship chaos would effect them. Also being born to chaos worshipping parents wouldn't help.
He may redeem himself through death.

I dont think anyone cares.

A heretic can be redeemed through death (either execution, or servitude unto death). A traitor can not, which is why traitors are worse than regular heretics.

Depends did a radical =][= just happen to run across you while slaughtering your entire family and you joined in to help, when you saw the majesty of the Aquila?
1/100000000000000000000000000000 chance maybe your not executed alongside said family members.

There's some FFG lore about Acolytes being recruited from Daemon Worlds in the rarest of cases, because those who are born on a planet of Warpfire and Chaos while still retaining their absolute faith in the Emperor are strong of mind indeed.

Fanatics routinely pass as good little frothing psychotics of the "correct" cult in the TTG fluff and in the RPGs because Grimdark Detect Evil would make Purging a bit too easy. Ergo, no one is likely to notice if spies are "faking it" for a decent interval. So, some off-worlder sincere in their faith would likely be no worse off than any other loyal citizen in the wider Imperium.

Yes.
The unbeliever can be brought to the light, but the traitor can never find redemption.
He isn't a traitor if he never served you.

The Glory of Mankind within him is still tainted by heresy. As others have said, death is his redemption.
Chaos gets in to the skin, in to the soul, in to the mind. It is not something as simple as resisting its teachings like a Catholic Sunday School.
It changes and warps everything about you, your thoughts, your chemistry, your very being and body.
The only defense against it is utter belief and alliegiance to the Golden Throne, or be possessed and cast out a demon to become an Illuminati.

One could be live on a daemon world and still choose to follow the imperial truth.
>>47753944
Yes, provided he isn't too corrupted.
Also, "the imperium is a big place, everything is possible"
Mere proximity to chaos corruption, especially for such a long period, distorts the body and soul beyond repair, regardless of whether you embrace it or not. The only exceptions would be powerful psykers and blanks, the former of which are probably WHY the planet is a chaos planet, and the latter of which would be killed long before.

Depends on the person making the call whether to blam or not. Either they will decide the proximity to chaos has tainted the convert and the only absolution they can receive is in death. Alternatively they decide the light of the Emperor has put them on the right path.
Either way whether or not the person themselves made any choice, or was personally responsible for their circumstances, is mostly irrelevant. You need to think in terms of groups and collectives, not as individuals. That way it is more grim dark/derp.
