When an evangelical christian ‘forgives’ you for something, what that actually is is them forgiving themselves for literally anything they do to you after that.

That is them saying that you are totally lost, do not count as a real human being with agency, and thus anything further they do to you is justified, because in their minds, you are not capable of making sensible decisions.

It is a threat.

Source?

Source is me, asshat, I grew up in such a family and culture and had to fucking escape it.

Oh no, your family was evangelical Christian, and they were mean to you? Now I feel bad. I guess you’re right, all evangelical Christians see non Christian’s as less than human with no agency.
