I have a suspicion that ZUN was planning to touch on the afterlife situation in CDS under the original artist and never actually got to do it. Knowing that Heaven's closed (unless Youmu or Tenshi stab you) and that Hell is basically an underfunded prison just barely managing to keep itself running, I was fully expecting this line from CDS to be foreshadowing a big Netherworld expansion like there being a town for spirits who've decided that just living in the Netherworld for the rest of time is preferable to the cycle of reincarnation that never happened after the artists changed. I think that even if you were sent to Heaven, it's not exactly like you've been saved given the afterlife is a physical place that you can go to and we know what it's like from Tenshi's descriptions. You still have to fight off shinigami if you end up in Heaven.
