The New Testament does talk about the resurrection of both the righteous and wicked dead at Judgement day. Although apart from sects such as the Seventh Day Adventists also preach that before Judgement day, souls will be given both provisional rewards and judgements depending on if they are wicked or righteous. Your question is apt for at least the 'provisional' stage before the day of judgement.
BTW: I am a atheist who denies in an afterlife, however I know a bit about Christian (especially Evangelical) theology.
