It seems safer to stick with what the Catechism says so I truncated your post.
JUDGMENT: The eternal retribution received by each soul at the moment of death, in accordance with that persons faith and works (the particular judgment) (10211022). The Last Judgment is Gods triumph over the revolt of evil, after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world. Preceded by the resurrection of the dead, it will coincide with the second coming of Christ in glory at the end of time, disclose good and evil, and reveal the meaning of salvation history and the providence of God by which justice has triumphed over evil (677679, 1021, 1038).
-- Glossary of the CCCI. The Particular Judgment
1021 Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ. The New Testament speaks of judgment primarily in its aspect of the final encounter with Christ in his second coming, but also repeatedly affirms that each will be rewarded immediately after death in accordance with his works and faith. The parable of the poor man Lazarus and the words of Christ on the cross to the good thief, as well as other New Testament texts speak of a final destiny of the soula destiny which can be different for some and for others. (679)
1022 Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death, in a particular judgment that refers his life to Christ: either entrance into the blessedness of heaven through a purification or immediately or immediate and everlasting damnation. (393, 1470)

At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.
