From what I've always been taught (Protestant and Catholic)The process of Sanctification happens after death- not while we live. Glorification, as I've always understood it will happen after the Rapture when he calls us all home.

Your point about having to be justified to go to heaven- I'm curious as to your stance of what happens to children who die or people who are disabled mentally. They've still sinned and should go to hell- but if they are unable to understand Christ- does God make an exception? Those "grey areas" were the reasons Catholics created the doctrine of purgatory in the first place.
