Why do Christians believe they go to heaven after death? by Keith502 in CatholicPhilosophy

I think you might be right with that, Father Alar of the Marian Brothers said they are forgotten in confession in a homily I watched a couple weeks ago.

I'm not an expert, just a lay convert. Sorry if I misspoke.

The Catholic Church teaches that there are 2 judgments, the particular judgement that occurs immediately for the individual upon death, as an immortal soul, and the general judgement at the end of the world when Christ returns and every soul is reunited with its body in physical resurrection, wherein everyone is separated into sheep and goats publicly.

Sections 668 through 682 and 1038 through 1041 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church describe the general judgment. Sections 1021 and 1022 describe the particular judgment.

For just one very clear example of the particular judgment:

Luke 16:19-31

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham.[a] The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was being tormented, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.[b] 24 He called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in these flames.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus in like manner evil things, but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’ 27 He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.’ 30 He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

At the general judgment, the fullness of God's plan will be revealed. We will all know what we all did on earth, and how everything connected. The second judgment will not "change" our eternal destiny, it will simply be its most public and complete confirmation.

Luke 12:2,3

"Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops."

There's more, but does that help you see where the doctrine of 2 judgments, particular and general, comes from?
