Greetings Kirby,
being a machine, the simple answer is, "suck eggs, to the scrap yard or recycle depot".
If you would like to discuss the potential of a case like this for real living humans, not humanoids, I see that you have put together quite an interesting chess game.
Even if we take the cryptic and consider the implications, one would have to start with the condition of being a manufactured machine. Of course, the manufactured can not sin as such as it is not it's own but merely a product of another greater then itself, and therefore everything it does is pre configured and of no fault or failing of it's own, even any malfunction that may manifest. So where does that leave us? Without sin? In that case no amount of rooting or rebooting will make any difference to the 'innocence' of the product of the workmanship of the creator of the machine. So, how and where do we go from there?
what IT thinks is its own sense of self awareness
is this what IT thinks or what it thinks? If it is what IT thinks then the children of disobedience (the products of) will think likewise. Children of Light know differently. If it is what it thinks it is believing what many do. Self awareness is governed by and limited by a) environmental factors (all and every angle and definition included) and b) the carnal un-regenerated mind. Would you like Scripture for this, Kirby?
Next, the 'complicated' part....
I’ll complicate this by adding... Then, one day, the android says to you, “I don’t want my life to end when my body breaks down. I want to live beyond that and, much more than that, I want to share in the rewards of my life of good works. I believe in God and his son Jesus. I want to love and worship them and partake in their grace and glory when my earthly time is done. What should I do?”
Sounds to me like what many in the world would say and even those who say they believe.
I don’t want my life to end when my body breaks down.I want to live beyond that, -Nuff's a fairy. {fair enough}
and, much more than that -we need to learn humility at the foot of the Cross and know that forgiveness (Mercy and Grace) is much more than enough.
I want to share in the rewards of my life of good works. -Doesn't everyone? But the only reward available is through God's work seen at the Cross of Christ in the shed Blood of the Lamb. Android or not, our good works are not the Door.
I believe in God and his son Jesus. -We believe what we hear. If indeed you did believe, the rest, pre and pro would not come into the equation.
I want to love and worship them and partake in their grace and glory when my earthly time is done. -You need to enter in now, for when your earthly time is done,.... (again, no amount of programming or micro chip will ever be able to partake)
What should I do? -If you have heard the Gospel, repent and be baptised, calling upon the name of the Lord.
Kirby, do not be seduced into any mistaken identity regarding your present condition. While you have breath in you, you are able to decide if you wish to remain android or as i said before, exchange the operating system, the hardware must be replaced by a new heart. You can not do this, you must present yourself to the Manufacturer and Giver of Life. Your new heart will have an Eternal Life-time Workmanship guarantee and no warranty is needed.
The software needs this command [Kirby, you probably understand the workings and similarities between apt-get zypper and yum so I'll use apt-get] You will need to use
apt-get purge once you have the correct repository in place together with a complete kernel replacement! [
apt-get dist-upgrade]
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:the_Word/ppa - See John 1:1
sudo apt-get install the_Word
sudo apt-get update
password for SUDO: I_Believe

Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house. Acts 16:31
Bless you ....><>
