That's a common fallacy that you have fallen into, looking at the Greek word origen, as if you can take the two original words that were put together to make a new word, as if you can find the definition by reading those two words as if it was a sentence that explains it.
Repentance, (metanoia in the Greek) isn't 'sorrow for what you do', it means to change one's mind.
Going back to the original Greek and Hebrew is not a "stupid position", it's the proper position and the only way you'll ever figure out the original intent of the words.

eader says to think repentance involves merely an intellectual assent, rather than a change in lifestyle

. . . and so much philosophical tripe from your "Free Grace" cult. (notice your signature, hating godliness, what your cult leader calls "religion", in a derogatory manner)
I'm talking about biblical Christianity.
The word is repentance. You seem to have a strong aversion to that word.
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.
