According to conventional wisdom, Johnny damned himself by accepting the bet in the first place. The devil “loses”, but that just cements Johnny’s sin of pride.
The devil might not have gotten Johnny’s soul the day of the contest, but make no mistake, he does eventually get the soul.
Yes and no. While the rules are all made up, and different people can just make up more rules, the standard rules say that any deal with the devil, even this bet, is a sin, an unforgivable sin. Adding in the sin of pride, which means Johnny is unlikely to ever repent, and the devil got a soul.
Also, there’s a sequel song with a bunch of big names on the project, Johnny went down due to the sin of pride.
Again, the rules are made up, but there are a dozen listed sins that are unforgivable. You just have to look for them.
However, a deal with the devil is automatically considered blasphemy against God, and thus an unforgivable sin. Add in the sin of Pride, and Johnny is damned.

While making a deal with the devil is often viewed as a form of blasphemy, the unforgivable sin- blasphemy against the Holy Spirit- involves an ultimate rejection of God’s truth and grace, which isn’t necessarily inherent to making a deal with the devil.
again, a deal with the devil is by definition, a rejection of God.
Again, not inherently.
murder is on the list of unforgivable sins.
Literally King David himself is a stark example to the contrary. Paul too. Are you just saying things and hoping they’re true? What do you think unforgivable means?
there are five or six places in the new testament alone that list unforgivable sins.
Care to cite the scripture you’re referencing? I’m not aware of such passages. Regardless, if they do exist, I assume they’re effectively overwritten by Jesus later doing the whole forgiving everyone’s sins by dying thing
I’m not even religious anymore, I don’t know why I’m so invested in this

Nah. Conventional wisdom says he can either
Johnny’s options will depend on his local wise man, but I suspect either way he’ll also be strongly encouraged to buy some merch.

Christianity’s whole thing is that no sin is unforgivable (except deliberate rejection of the Holy Spirit’s work/testimony about Jesus (Mark 3:20-28))

Pride is a forgivable sin
Pride might be forgivable, but the prideful rarely ask.
