Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 96

96. In the other life, all are examined by means of influx from heaven as to the quality pertaining to their spiritual faith and life concerning the Divine Human of the Lord.

They who receive (the influx), see and acknowledge [the Divine Human] are conjoined with angels. The reason for this is that all heaven is in that acknowledgment. And so, the operation of heaven is received only by those who are in the life of faith which is charity.
