Page "Afterlife" Paragraph 74
from
Wikipedia
Orthodoxy teaches that, " after the soul leaves the body, it journeys to the abode of the dead ( Hades ).
There are exceptions, such as the Theotokos ( the virgin Mary ), who was borne by the angels directly into heaven.
As for the rest, we must remain in this condition of waiting.
Because some have a prevision of the glory to come and others foretaste their suffering, the state of waiting is called " Particular Judgment ".
When Christ returns, the soul rejoins its risen body to be judged by Him in the Last judgment.
The ' good and faithful servant ' will inherit eternal life, the unfaithful with the unbeliever will spend eternity in hell.
Their sins and their unbelief will torture them as fire.
