According to the teachings of the Church,-judgment of the souls

According to the teachings of the Church, the special judgment of the souls by God precedes their torture, or rather a series of trials. these occur in the regions of the air where evil spirits have their territory (Eph. ). They hold the souls and declare and manifest all the sins committed by these souls during their lives. We are well aware of these sufferings because they were revealed to Gregory, the disciple of the holy monk of St. Basil the New, who lived in the first half of the tenth century. Grigorios in his vision learned about the time of death and the passing of the torture of a woman known as the blessed Theodora.When a soul turns out to be so sinful and unclean before God, that he has no hope of salvation, the evil spirits bring him to the abyss immediately, where he is the place of their everlasting discomfort. and then they will unite with their bodies and be martyred in the fiery hell along with devils. "Note also," the angels were told, "that this is the way in which only those who are illuminated by faith and holy baptism can ascend and be tested in the martyr's stages. The wise men do not come here. Their soul belongs to hell even before separating them from their bodies. When the devils die they take their souls without having to try These souls are their right prey and take them to the abyss
