as salam alykom brother and welcome to the board
Well your brother needs help and u r ready to give it. Just dont give up on him, no one is beyond help. U have the will, seek Allah's guidance, make dua for him, remain adopting a patient attitude, repeat what u say, avoid making him feel looked down at, if u treat the thief as an honest person he will try to prove so.
If he is sure that he is going to Jannah, that is between him and Allah, never make judegment and contradict him, never approach this area.
Continue giving direct and indirect advices in a nice humble way without letting him feel u r better or know more, or closer to Allah, for no one knows actually who is closer or how one may end.
So u make dua, his sister makes dua we will make dua
May Allah assist this brother to improve and get closer to Allah, may Allah makes His satisfaction the only aim this brother have, may Allah teach him to differntiate between truth and falsehood.
ameen
