1) Justification: This happens when one first comes to believe on Christ. A sinner comes to God and trusts in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the payment of his sin debt. God judicially declares that person justifies. God imputes the righteousness of Christ to that person at that point in time. This is the stage where Heaven is guaranteed to a person.
It's so judicial.
2)Sanctification: Once someone has been Justified, they then start to be Sanctified. This is an outward working of what has already gone on inside a Believer at the moment of Justification. This process lasts the whole earthly lifetime.
OK.
3) Glorification: This happens either at death or at the Second Coming of Christ. Should a Believer die before Christ comes back, that person is ushered into the presence of God to await the Second Coming, not that time really matters in Heaven, but from our point of view there is a passage of time. Should a Believer be caught up in the Rapture then Glorification occurs then. Glorification is when our corruptible put on incorruptible, our mortality puts on immortality. Our sin nature is gone and we have received our glorified bodies. Our Salvation is complete, it is no longer a promise that we are waiting for.
What would be different if we said that people are undergoing Sanctification during their lives and, when life is over, the sanctification is completed. Glorification is the ultimate end product of sanctification. And whatever we do not sanctify in life will be finished at death.
Would you believe that?

Yeah, but He’s the Judge of the universe, so I think He’s allowed to be a bit judicial
OK.
Ok.

I would agree with you on that.
