For the clear stating and satisfying of this Question, I will lay down some things negatively, and some things positively about it. On the negative part I desire two things may be noted.

This must needs be so, because all that are in Christ are equally justified by the imputation of Christ's Righteousness, without difference to them all, Rom. 3.22. Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference: By virtue whereof, they are all equally secured from Wrath to come, one as well as another: as all that sailed with Paul, so all that die in Christ come safe to the shore of Glory, and not one of them is lost. The sting of Death smites none that are in Christ.

Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Iesus Christ unto all, and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference: By vertue whereof, they are all equally secured from Wrath to come, one as well as another: as all that sailed with Paul, so all that die in Christ come safe to the shoar of Glory, and not one of them is lost. The sting of Death smites none that are in Christ.
