Those who believe it wait in their graves and lose track of time, but they can be rescued if someone prays for them.

Can you give me a Biblical cite for this?

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. [John 5:25 RSV]

[ExSoldier]

That still doesn't explain the spirit but rather the flesh. Spirit and flesh are divided at death and reunited later.
