Was Judas an apostate or an Instrument for God's Plan?

Jesus' Betrayal was both necessary and freely chosen

Jesus says "and truly the son of man goes, as it was determined; but woe to the man who betrayed" Luke 22:22. God determined the betrayal would happen, but when it occurred, it did so as a result of a free and responsible act of Judas. There is no contradiction between these two truths. They aren't mutually exclusive as they may appear. Therefore, Judas would not have been an instrument of God (prophet), but rather, an apostate that God knew through His infinite wisdom.
