.
If they died in faith, they go to the same place that all of Yehova’s elect go to wait until the last trump: “The Bosom of Abraham.” That portion of Hades reserved for the elect.

Yes there is a heaven, but our ultimate dwelling place will be not heaven, but the New Jerusalem that Yeshua has prepared for us. The marriage supper of the Lamb will be in heaven, on the sea of fire and glass, before we return to Earth to rule with him for 1000 years.

These things are well described in the word, which is why I suggested that more reading was in order.

WOW, I've never heard that weird interpretation before, guess that's why there are so many "denominations"

The portion of Hades reserved for the elect...well, that could be purgatory I guess, but the just will go to paradise......"Today you will be with Me in Paradise"
