Those who repent falls under rehabilitation category.
Prophet Adam was forgiven once, when he repented and asked forgivenes from God for eating the forbiden fruit.
Those 3 religions also have deterance sentence mentioned in the old tastement, book of torah (jews), Qoran. Once one receives this deterent sentence one's sin will be forgiven by God. No need to worry when one dies. perfectly clean slate again. The sentence normally involves canning.
I was responding to your 3 categories of punishment. Punishment aftar death is for those who escape conviction during his liifetime. or who received light sentence for serious crime.
No, it looked like you were trying to weasel out of answering what the reason is. Answer the question. Even if you want to include the categories I dismissed (since the punished person must be alive), there is no reason for punishment of anyone after death except for the amusement of a vicious god.
