Interesting proposition… but you need to prove that it is logical impossibility for God to allow us into heaven without this “way-station”. Whether to be “worthy citizens” or merely allowed to sit in a dusty corner, it is supposed to be better off to be in heaven, than to suffer in hell - forever.
What you suggest is like the person who pounds his finger with a hammer… because it feels SOOO GOOD, when he stops.
