Paul declared 'I would rather depart and be with Christ which is far better' (rather than remaining on earth) - Phil 1.23. Thus H would be with Christ in Heaven
He also declared the when a Christian dies he is 'absent from the body, present with the Lord' (2 Cor 5.6-8).
Thus it is quite clear that as declared in Ecclesiastes 12.7, when we die our 'body returns to the earth, and the spirit returns to the God Who gave it.'

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all SLEEP, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the DEAD shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ro 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

That day He visited Sheol. Hades. Under the earth. 'Paradise' (2 Cor 12; Lk).
He also visited Tartarus, then, as Peter writes. To announce His victory to
imprisoned fallen angels, who had done their thing in Genesis before 'Noah's'
flood.
After 45 or so hours............hallelujah, He resurrected and was both designated
Son of God out of resurrection (Rm 1:3-4); as well as became a life-giving Spirit
