A Catholic is a baptized Christian who follows Christ in the Church which He established. Death is the just punishment for sin, to which all men (saving Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and His mother) are subject. Immediately after death comes the particular judgment and the soul's immediate arrival in hell or heaven, or purgatory if that soul is bound for heaven but not yet pure.
