Following a thought from here:

Salvation seems to come from both inside - i.e. work within the heart
and outside - clothed with righteousness
what i suspect is the outer clothing is a corporate covering
i.e. the covenant that embraces the whole family
so Immortality clothes the church, then the Spirit penetrates the swallowed deathly flesh
and begins to crucify and transform it into a Spirit-fused flesh
(think digestion)
then what is not filled with the Spirit is spewed out of the Immortal Body - immortal as well, but in the outer darkness forever (think Adam and Eve if they were not clothed sent out of the garden)
The rest is now Spiritual Flesh - the new man/thing/creation that lives the new life for eternity
