Seeing that time will be compressed at this stage, so that the whole process of resurrection and judgment occurs "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye", it is understandable that the resurrection is sometimes spoken of as the means by which the righteous will be given eternal life. However, this is because of the speed at which we will be transferred from the grave to the judgment seat, and then, by God's grace, into the immortal state.
