Cconsider Romans 5:14 and 1 Corinthians 15:22
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those not having sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the coming One.
What is that type? Of the coming One that Paul would refer to in present tense after Jesus had already come and returned home.
1 Corinthians 15:20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
Jesus didn't teach that we sleep after death, did he?

The answers you are asking me for are in those very texts. Every human is either in Adam or in Christ.
If you remain in Adam, you will perish
If you are in Christ, you will never perish.
