Yes except that is not what he is referring to is it? He is talking about one day leaving this earthly vessel and being with him you have include the context of the entire verse not cherry pick it
I don’t believe in purgatory. Have I misunderstood your post
there is only one way to leave the tent of this body
there is only one way for the tent to “sleep”
the spirit, however, is another thing completely
it doesn’t remain with the physical vessel of our body
it either ascends and waits
or descends and waits
