If God wants all willing persons to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, why does not He allow a window period of repentance from Hades?

Christ did, in deed, pay the penalty for sin; and, the extent of that payment could sufficiently cover every person that ever lived, is living, or will live on the earth.
