People also tend to conflate *participation* in the life eternal (in the life of God, divine union), with life of infinite duration. Christianity involves both, but some forms, particularly in Protestantism, tend to flatten them out into a single thing. This, plus univocity, tends towards making God just one extra powerful being among many and Christianity entirely about avoiding an extrinsic punishment and gaining an extrinsic rewards based on an arbitrary, or at least inscrutable divine will. This is not traditional Christianity though, where the goal is theosis and God is being itself.
