Oooooooo doggy. That them is a lot of words for something so simple.
what becomes of those who plead the atonement of Christ for salvation but die before they have been thoroughly transformed? These people will have accepted the truth about God and themselves through repentance and faith, but their character will not have been made perfect.
The correct and simple answer is that God does not look upon our righteousness. Our characters are not perfect either now or when we pass on. We are ushered into the Kingdom (not purgatory) based upon the perfection and righteousness of Christ. God the Father sees Christ-not us. We receive a new body (a resurrected body) based upon Christ's work which God has promised.
Any other doctrine is nothing more than work based and blasphamy to the holy work of Christ and the sanctification process of the Holy Spirit. It should be noted this last part is the "unforgivable" sin.
