I customized a theme before learning about child themes. Right now, I already created a CT, but the parent theme still remains to be the one customized.
If I run a recursive diff on the PT folder on my website and the same theme with no modifications (downloaded from source), it shows no difference. Does this mean my CT is safe if an update comes? Also, how can this be if I personalized a lot of the stuff on the PT?

Your *child theme* will always be safe during updatres, though I think in this case you meant will the *parent theme* be safe? Well, if a source diff is saying your parent and a copy of the parent are the same, then I’d say you’re safe to update.
But I’d take a backup, just to be safe. What exactly/where were the changes you made to the parent? Note that only changes to the actual theme source code are affected in an update.
