I guess the usual Protestant thought on this is that when we are saved and "die in the Lord" that along with a glorified body we get a glorified character automatically.
Which, as some have pointed out, comes perilously close to salvation-through-good-works. Because, while yes, it's technically the faith that is saving you, that faith is always going to be accompanied by good works.
It's also patently false.

Probably should have been started in Heaven, wot?
Purgatory is our serious discussion space – where theological, ethical, political, social and cultural issues are discussed from a Christian perspective. All views are welcome – orthodox, unorthodox, radical or just plain bizarre – so long as you can stand being challenged.

I don't tend to venture into Heaven that often. It's all too restful ...
Perhaps I ought to. Like I ought to preview my posts. Then I wouldn't have 'traxidy' or whatever it was instead of 'tradition'.
