So the Paradise side is now empty as those who die can go and pass through it to heaven.

Exactly...Catholics get a slight 'glimpse' of this place and call it purgatory but don't know enough scripture to figure out what it really is...They don't even know the gates are wide open...Even if it was purgatory, it couldn't hold anyone in...

So ultimately anyone who is currently in the torment side of hell, the unsaved, WILL end up in the Lake of Fire, but God never intended that man go there.

They will be pulled up out of hell to stand at the White Throne Judgment (where Catholics plan on being judged) to no avail since everyone at that judgment goes into the lake of fire...

Those whose names are not in the Book of Life will appear before the Great White Throne to be judged for their sins. However, it's a formality because they have already been judged. Refer to John 3:18

Why, then, does Rev 20:12 say that the book of life is opened at that judgement, and the dead are judged according to the BOOKS (plural), both the book of life and the book of death?

The judgement of Rev 20 is exactly the same as the judgment of Matthew 25:31-46, and it's crystal clear that not everyone at that judgement is condemned.

Beware of following the false traditions of men.
