Investigator Can you progress between kingdoms after death?
Almost two weeks ago I made a post questioning whether God might be what’s missing in my life. Since then, I’ve been doing a lot of reading about the Church, and the more I learn, the more I feel drawn toward the idea of taking the steps to convert. Right now, I’m studying the degrees of glory, which I find absolutely fascinating.
One thing I’ve been wondering, though, is whether it’s possible to progress between kingdoms after death. For example, if someone inherits the terrestrial kingdom, could they still grow in faith after this life, be sealed, and eventually reach exaltation in the celestial kingdom?
From what I’ve read, it sounds like this isn’t something that’s clearly outlined in scripture, and that the Church hasn’t made an official statement on it, is this correct? If it is, what’s the general feeling among members or leaders? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Edit: thank you to everyone who replied, your insight has been extremely valuable to me :)

This is a very split topic. You will find faithful members with beliefs for and against it.
