The Bible shows that Mary is in Heaven as the Ark of the Covenant (Rev 11:19), while the martyrs are crying out to God for vengeance under the altar (Rev 6:9) and the prayers of the saints are being offered as incense (Rev 8:4).

So Mary and the saints are in Heaven, but what about would-be saints, i.e. people who haven't been perfected in this life? Do they experience sleep, meaning that they die and only wake up at the final judgement? If so, do theysleep, and wake up all at oncetogether atto the final judgment orfinal judgement? Or are they judged beforeindividually before the final judgement?

I would appreciate answers from different view points as long as it can be deduced from Scripture: Catholic (purgatorial), Eastern / Oriental Orthodox, and Protestant (non-purgatorial).
