After death is judgment. If you read chapter 25 of Matthew where the beautiful judgment after resurrection is described, you see how beautiful and poetic it is. But it's also not true.
Human language can never describe divine supernatural realities.
Our language is just not adequate. The categories of our brain are not adequate. As a consequence, Christ's description cannot be taken literally. Judgment is a divine action upon us and our reaction to that divine action. If it is a child, it will automatically and spontaneously transfer into that mode of existence which is reserved for the children of God.
