That's not a question that one could easily answer as all judgement is executed by our great Judge only. And then again, how do you understand a 'backslider'? Is he/she given over to some repetitive sin(s), is now coming to the Lord for forgiveness, but still finds it hard to give up that sin? Or to the other extreme, has that person gone totally into a sinful lifestyle, has no remorse & in many ways, rejected God, & Christ's offer? So, what I'm saying here, has the 'backslider' ever 'slid forward' in the first place? Has he or she, ever been born again by God's Spirit? How these questions are answered may give you a clue as to the state of that soul, & yet there remains a place of repentance which the Lord offers to all in sin.
