People are people. Wherever they go and whatever changes around them.
[ a little nod at that question. ] There are limits to who is allowed to take it, yes. And whether there is a catch or not... depends on your perspective. It does come with its own concerns. Its own tradeoffs. But those still may not necessarily be a "catch" to some people.

To put it simply, when you walk into one room, you leave the previous room behind. To accept something new is to give up something old. To some people, that's an easy choice. Maybe there was nothing there for them in the previous room. To others, it's harder to let go. So—tradeoff.
It's not so different from the decision you have here. Choosing between your old life or Heaven.
