In Revelation 20:4, it is clear that the believers who went through the great tribulation were beheaded for the witness of Jesus. They did not worship the beast, nor his image, nor his mark and became part of the first resurrection. In all of the New Testament the "saints" are believers:(1 Cor. 1:2; Acts 9:13; Acts 26:10; Ro. 8:27, etc.) In the pre-trib model, these saints are not part of the church and will not receive glorified bodies (Cyrus Scofield's 1917 bible notes on 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The post-trib model believes that the tribulation saints are part of the church and will have glorified bodies and will be part of the first resurrection (Anderberg, Roy W., Prophecy Explored, Wheatmark Publishing, 2024, page 94 ISBN 979-8-88747-174-7)
