Thanks.

I think there is a lot of agreement to build on. And interesting differences to examine.

Can you say anything about death as punishment or as the wages of sin?

I'm asking because it SEEMS to this untutored person that our Orthodix brethren arw working with a very organic idea of the relationship between the two.

I'm not sure I completely understand your question. Death in itself is the wages of sin to all mankind. But death is not necessarily punishment, certainly not to a Christian. It's simply one more door to go through. Punishment or glorification is the given after one has gone through the door.
