Does the soul split in two just after death?

[John Human]

Recently, I started a thread where I brought forth evidence that for the past 2000 years and more, orthodox Jews -- including Jesus as recorded in the Bible -- believed in reincarnation. (The thread is "Did Jesus and his followers believe in reincarnation?" at viewtopic.php?t=35420&start=10) Nobody challenged what I put forth.

However, Biblical references to the Day of Judgment and "eternal life" and the "kingdom of Heaven" seem to be a different scenario, as is the Catholic notion of Purgatory. How to reconcile this discrepancy? Could both reincarnation and Purgatory/Heaven be true? Does the soul split in two just after death?

P.S. Perhaps this question is like discussing the "Big Bang" or the first appearance of life on Earth: the ambiguous scraps of evidence don't get in the way of theorizing, speculation and strongly-held opinions.
