I don't think it's insulting to assume Emma has the ability to forgive Regina's past crimes.

I don't know if you read my response to Fluteline24, but I'm saying something similar here. Emma defended Regina against a murder accusation, saved her life multiple times, and even invited her to a party. And all that took place after Regina wronged Emma, her parents, her son, and their world. Inviting Regina to a party shows that Emma is not only willing to forgive her actions but that she cares about Regina's happiness. Emma wants Regina to be a part of her life and her community.
