God is not bound by our sense of time. He is a merciful God, not the cold-hearted god created by Jean Cauvin in his own image.
lol. I've noticed this is the usual response from Catholics when they have no real answer.
Here's a tip -- God knows the difference between dead and alive because it is God who gives us life and who determines the moment of our birth and our death.
"And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation" -- Acts 17:26
And at that moment of our death, we will either behold His face in glory by His grace alone through Jesus Christ who has acquitted us of our sins, or we will be lost forever by the condemnation of our own fallen nature.
