Can or do angels go through a redemptive process like we can or do?

Can or do angels go through a redemptive process like we can or do?

Jesus spent three days in Hades preaching to the spirits there... Why would he do that if they could not be redeemed?

No one is in the Lake of fire, or "Hell" yet, they are in a holding place called Hades until Jesus return and Judges both the living and the dead

But, Can or do angels go through a redemptive process like we can or do? Like the Q character in Star Trek?

I am not a theologian, and I have not had a extensive study on this subject, but I am not aware that the spirits were angels. I know that different versions have translated the original word differently which has caused confusion.
Jesus went to “Abraham’s side” or the blessed side of hades. Sheol/hades was a realm with two divisions—a place of blessing and a place of judgment (Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27–31). The abodes of the saved and the lost are both generally called “hades” in the Bible. The abode of the saved is also called “Abraham’s bosom” (KJV) or “Abraham’s side” (NIV) in Luke 16:22 and “paradise” in Luke 23:43. The abode of the unsaved is called “hell” (KJV) or “Hades” (NIV) in Luke 16:23.

The abodes of the saved and the lost are separated by a “great chasm” (Luke 16:26). When Jesus died, He went to the blessed side of sheol and, from there, took the believers with Him to heaven (Ephesians 4:8–10).

The judgment side of sheol/hades has remained unchanged. All unbelieving dead go there awaiting their final judgment in the future. Did Jesus go to sheol/hades? Yes, according to Ephesians 4:8–10 and 1 Peter 3:18–20. gotquestions.org

The Bible says that the severity of God’s judgment varies according to how much knowledge a person possesses (Luke 12:48). The fallen angels, then, with the great knowledge they possessed, are greatly deserving of God’s wrath.
(Ezekiel 28:14). Lucifer—and all the angels—were continually in God’s presence. Therefore, they had no excuse for rebelling against God and turning away from Him. They were " not " tempted. Lucifer and the other angels rebelling against God despite what they knew was the utmost evil.
