Limbo

If there is a limbo for Hell (the "condition of those who die in original sin without being assigned to the Hell of the damned [gehenna]... Medieval theologians described the underworld ["hell", "hades", "infernum"] as divided into four distinct underworlds: hell of the damned, purgatory, limbo of the fathers, and limbo of infants"), then there must be a limbo for Heaven as well; for those who die virtuously without being assigned the Heaven of the blessed.

I wonder what that's like. Like, Earth, maybe?
