If Hell is real and sinners do end up in it, they suffer only as long as they sinned, and their suffering is only as great as their sins. Since no one has committed infinite sins, no ones burns in Hell eternally.
Every sinner who has ever lived atones eventually -- every sinner.
That sounds more or less like the Catholic concept of Purgatory, though those who reject God even once they've seen him do get stuck in Hell forever.
Some think that no one would reject God in this case, and that even if they did, they would change their mind eventually. I disagree, though I can't offer any evidence either way.
...seemingly it could be imagined in such an instance as my own...for the manifold God that might seek to embrace this traveler must needs have more than a few chords missing from the top notes of harmony...and unlikely would be the scenario in which such a welcome might be returned in any case...
...at least, not on equal terms...and, at least, not with equal vigor...and, certainly, not without at the very least a suspicion of turpitude...
