(One also wonders, btw, where you get all of this inside information about heaven, purgatory, hell, and what is within other people.)
This is the right option, right here. For those who go to Heaven right after death (such as the Blessed Virgin Mary, for example), they reached perfection and already attached their will to God during their lifetime, without even the slightest imperfections in their heart. Such a person doesn't commit evil during their lifetime either, so nothing really changed, and death for them is a very simple matter. For others, they are made perfect through many years in Purgatory, possibly thousands, always moving closer to God.
Information about purgatory, hell and heaven is gained from the teachings of Jesus+the Apostles.

Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
