My mother recently died and she was the first person in my family. So, the
subject of death is now on my mind. It is my understanding that souls are
resurrected at the time of the second coming of Christ and that no one other than
Mother Mary and Jesus have resurrected bodies until Christ returns to earth. My
question is whether all souls, destined for heaven or hell, receive resurrected
eternal bodies? Is it possible that only those accepted into heaven receive eternal
bodies?

Thanks in advance for answering my question if an answer is possible as this
is clearly an area that is not fully disclosed in scripture.

Peace, Mike Spowart
 
Both the righteous and the unrighteous will rise bodily at the general judgment.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, quoting John 5:29, states the following:
Who will rise? All the dead will rise, "those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
The bodies that all souls receive in the bodily resurrection will be impassible. That is to say both the righteous and unrighteous will have incorruptible bodies. The righteous will experience the perfection of bodily pleasure in the new heaven and new earth. The wicked will experience everlasting bodily pain.

For further reading, check out paragraphs 988-1019 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
