Eliezer, I dunno about Christianity, and it wouldn’t, in this case, be eternal, but isn’t there something about some Buddhists who’ve tried to get into/be reborn into some hell plane when they die to help those trapped there?
At least I seem to have this memory of reading stuff along those lines.
Also, actually, I know I’ve heard Jewish stories about various Rabbis supposedly making contracts and shuffling stuff around to give up their share in The-World-To-Come for the sake of another. Perhaps not identical, but the theme does show up here and there.
