If that judgment doesn't mean damnation then why should it terrify all men? And since you admit final judgment is an essential element of the Gospel, how would you respond when you get the inevitable question: "What does this judgment consist of?" Scripture makes clear what the judgment consists of - eternal damnation.
I choose not to go down this rabbit trail here. The reason is that you are drilling into words and inferring meaning to them that is debatable.
e.g. “damnation”.
