Soul-Sleep-Mortalism
Souls sleep unconsciously between death and resurrection — the Christian-mortalist position (Milton later) rejected by XXXII.1.
This is a contested or rejected alternative.
The Westminster baseline on Intermediate State is Immediate-Conscious-With-God-Or-Judgment. Personas and schools listed below hold this alternative position instead — either because they argued for it at the Assembly (like the Erastians on polity) or because they represent a receiving tradition that departed from the Standards on this point.

Other positions on Intermediate State
Immediate-Conscious-With-God-Or-Judgment WCF
Souls of the righteous are immediately received into the highest heavens; souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day (WCF XXXII.1).
Purgatory-And-Limbus
Souls of the imperfectly purified pass through purgatorial fire; OT saints in *limbus patrum* — the Roman scheme rejected by XXXII.1's denial of 'any other place' beyond heaven and hell.
