In Buddhism can I make up for my bad karma with good deeds? + a few other questions

Starting off am I conscious in that hell dimension? Is it me or is it someone who will experience my pain and shares a soul yet I can’t sense it?

Secondly, what’s the point of hell? If we don’t remember the punishment how are we making up for it.

Third, I have a negative karma. I know that because I have not committed nearly as many good deeds as bad ones. Can I make up for that with a couple hundred really good ones?

How do you determine which deeds are good or bad? What criteria does it have to follow

Lastly are there any rules of practices you guys have to follow or do?

None of this is a dig or critique of your religion btw. I’m a Christian who is very interested in it.

I’m confused on Buddhism.

It sounds to me like in hell it won’t be me, but my soul which is seperate from consciousness? I’m probably wrong but can anyone explain?

I can’t tell the difference between God and Satan calling me.

I’ve felt a calling and anxiety over Islam. It’s trying to convince me to convert and I don’t know if that is Allah trying to save me or Satan trying to tempt me. I don’t like Islam and its heaven seems full of lust full desires. It also seems unconvincing but this voice in my head keeps telling me “convert” and “what if you’re wrong and you get tortured” it got so bad that through tears I cried into a bean bag begging for Jesus. I’ve never done that. I’ve never chose Jesus when I cried before, I’ve never screamed for him full of pain and longing, begging for him to take away the pain. It did go away but what if that was Satan trying to keep me in his clutches. What if he’s trying to stop me from going to the true God? I love Jesus more than ever right now but I’m scared. I’m so scared that I’m gonna die and Jesus will stand next to Muhammad, is gonna shake his head and cast me into eternal fire to experience unimaginable pain forever.

I’m scared of other religions.

.

Mainly Islam. I’ve done research into the hellfire and I don’t want to go there. The problem is I grounded myself in science, not blind faith. I’m not a gambling man and I have a coin flip that if it hits the wrong side I get eternal condiment. No matter what arguments I use, what flaws I try and point out there’s always a voice saying “what if that’s wrong” and it’s terrifying. I’m a Christian but what if Islam is the truth? Faith never cut it, and when it can retreat back to “Allah is always right” it creates a loop. There’s no concrete evidence and with out it I can’t decide. This came out of nowhere and I want to believe Jesus as my lord but the possibility of a god having me is more than I can bear. I’m falling sleep while writing this so if there’s any mists be surprised
