Let me try to put it in an analogy form, dumbing it down for myself...

"the soul enters into a state according to their acceptance of Christ as Saviour or not. "

I take that to mean if you are going to "heaven" your "room" may be from one star to five diamond? "There are many rooms in my Fathers house"

"Only asking that they receive mercy and God's Love no matter where they find themselves."

Basically asking that "room service" be excellent and perhaps give said soul an "upgrade"?

Am I getting close?
