Life after death:

Christians belive in the phycical ressurection of the body. At death, the body waits until judgement day. Catholics call this purgatory. At judgment, each person will face God to evaluate their deeds. If they were good in life they will go to heaven, which is paradise and wonderful forever. If they were bad, they will go to hell for eternal punishment.
