That's actually not a wrong belief, martyrdom forgives any and all sins in Christian theology. Of course there's the part where you typically die in a painful manner as part of martyrdom so it's not the easiest way to shrive your soul.Does he think if he dies fighting the infidels, God will forgive his homosexuality? I know that's how it works for Islams.
There was a Chinese saint who was addicted to opium his entire life, so much so he was refused absolution and couldn't receive Communion. However, he died for the faith as a martyr alongside other Chinese Christians during one of the persecutions under the Qing and was canonized as a result.
