The Bible speaks of each Christian’s works being tried “by the fire and those that are of Godly nature last thru the fire and those that aren’t are burned away...often called the judgment seat of Christ for the Christians in which various crowns are handed out but in the end all crowns earned are cast at the feet of Jesus...the worst of us get in “by the skin of our teeth” and the best of us will only earn a “C minus”. I think the erroneous concept of Purgatory comes from that.

The judgements are instantaneous but involves the works done by the Christian who just by being at the judgment seat of Christ shows the salvation of his or her spirit. He or she won’t lose their salvation but they will get kudos or stinkos depending on their works while alive. In the end it won’t matter since the rest of eternity will give rise for many opportunities for growth in ways we can’t begin to fathom in our present states.
