1 Peter 4:5-6 (ESV)
5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
The dead are dead. Those who are living without the breath of God giving life to their souls are dead to Him, regardless of whether they walk on the earth or rest in it’s dust.
Those who are dead in Christ or live in Him are alive to God. The breath of life never leaves them, even when they draw the last creaturely breath of man. His breath of life is eternal and our communion with Him endures forever.
