There is no reason in the New Testament to suppose that there are any category distinctions between different Christians in heaven as they await the resurrection. In the early Christian writings all Christians are “saints,” including the muddled and sinful Corinthians. When Paul speaks of his desire “to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better,” he isn’t suggesting that he is going to be “with Christ” while less proficient Christians will have an interim waiting period.
