Could if be possible that everyone is destined for heaven?

I also disagree with any kind of ‘two selves’ notion as outlined in the OP. It is neither biblical, nor in keeping with Church teaching.

Body of Christ, Save Me!
Save me from my great arch-enemy,
my weak and faltering self.
Save me from all greed of money, of power, and of praise.
Save me from thirst for pleasure, worldly show, and midnight revelry.
Save me from betraying You,
Dear Lord,
in thought, or in word, or in deed.

The belief of a false self seems pretty obvious in this well known Catholic prayer. Am I missing something?

Romans 7 describes the inner struggle St Paul had: the old man with its habitual sinfulness, and the new man which longed for Christian perfection. In several other NT places (ie. Eph 4) St Paul urges us to ‘put off’ the old man, and ‘put on’ the new. No one says that our old arch-enemy, (what is sometimes called our old self, or our sinful nature), isn’t a force to be reckoned with - you see that aspect of the struggle against sin in the prayer you quoted above. However, your question in your original post is quite different… you are wondering if there are two selves and if one could be sent to hell while the other went to heaven. That is what everyone is objecting to.

Nobody is destined for anything. The future is open. Anything is possible. Going to heaven is a choice. Going to hell is a choice. Fate doesn’t exist.
