Doesn't the Catholic church teach that there are differences in heavenly rewards?
To allow a slacker and willful sinner into heaven is to require that he be on a "low rung" in heaven, while those who led holy lives are, what? Better treated, given nicer homes, served food rather than being the servants?
Every cup shall be filled. The difference is, how large of a cup do you have? A "greater" saint will have developed a greater capacity to be filled with God than a "lesser" saint.
I don't really know. Probably. How do you see things? I just picture a state of complete bliss, baskng in the glory of God.

I'm not sure how that works. Maybe some people are more responsive to bliss, or their bliss would be objectively "better." Maybe one's bliss is beer and steak while another's is lobster and wine?
