God in His Holiness requires a covering (in the case of the Old Testament Believers like Adam, Abel...) or a propitiation (Jesus Christs death and resurrection) to reestablish fellowship with God.

We die once, then the judgement.

I think of spiritually dead as a spirit submitted to the flesh, not dead in the sense that physical death implies. When we are born again as a new creature our spirit is no longer under submission to the flesh. Alive takes on a different meaning in regard to spiritually alive.

The spirit of the unbeliever is cast into outer darkness for eternity. Seperate from the Love of God, but painfully aware of their folly. Dead toward God, but aware unlike physical death which is final.
