Hades. Which is not a switching station to heaven.

Think the rich man and Lazarus.

Lazarus was not suffering in torment in paradise, paying off his sins.

The rich man was in torment in Hades, and clearly not expecting to get out otherwise, he would not have begged Abraham to send Lazarus back to warn his brothers.

Not a clue in that passage that the state of either Lazarus or the rich man was temporary or for the purpose of paying off sin.

You’ve just given two different definitions of Hades.

Were Lazurus and the richman in the same place? And did Jesus visit both of them?
