Wasn't Judas the one who did the denying? So by referencing this isn't the gifter calling himself Judas and not you?

Not a Christian, but it was Peter who denied Christ, and Judas betrayed him to the authorities. So in a way, OP is kind of like Judas, if Jesus was a dudebro who liked sleeping with deployed soldiers' wives and felt crucified if you told on him.

I'll take being Judas over a dudebro any day!

No, it was Peter who denied Jesus three times. Judas gave Jesus up to the Roman government by kissing him to show them who Jesus was.
