Not so much. I am Eastern Orthodox. You better believe that St. Simeon the Righteous, the God-Receiver (who received Jesus at His Presentation at the Temple in Jerusalem)...

As is Moses the Law-Giver...

As are the Psalmist, King, and Propet David...
And Solomon...

I cuold go on, but you get the picture.

Theology isnt my strong suit, but as I understand it, Roman Catholic doctrine holds that prior to Christ sacrificing himself for our sins, mankind was denied heaven. All were tainted with Original sin, so the best they could hope for was limbo. Of course, the story of the transfiguration of Christ when Moses and Elijah appeared with him would indicate otherwise, doubtful he plucked them out of limbo.
