Technically it’s still never falsifiable. It can be verifiable, if true, upon finding yourself in an afterlife after death. But if it’s false then you don’t observe it being false when you cease existing.
If we define a category of beliefs that are currently neither verifiable or falsifiable, but might eventually become verifiable if they happen to be true, but won’t be falsifiable even if they’re false—that category potentially includes an awful lot of invisible pink dragons and orbiting teapots (who knows, perhaps one day we’ll invent better teapot detectors and find it). So I don’t see it as a strong argument for putting credence in such ideas.
