What’s the difference between salvation and judgement?

I have always wondered what the difference between, and does judgement happen after we’ve entered the kingdom of Heaven?

Judgment vs. judgement – Correct Spelling – Grammarist
https://grammarist.com/spelling/judgment-judgement
In American English, judgement is generally considered a misspelling of judgment for all uses of the word, notwithstanding individual preferences. In British popular usage, judgment was traditionally the preferred form, but judgement has gained ground over the last couple of centuries and is now nearly as common as judgment.

My apologies, I mean in the Christian Faith.

Judgment refers to a decision while condemnation refers to the verdict.
The decision against Adam led to condemnation for all mankind. "In Adam all die" and return to their native earth.
This does not mean mankind is responsible for Adam's sin, it simply means that the very nature of Adam, which caused him to sin, has been condemned to die.

Salvation is available only to those IN CHRIST. Anyone not in Christ is still under the condemnation IN Adam.

However, there can be judgment and condemnation of a second death for those IN Christ if they do not remain faithful to their calling.

IMO Adam was a mythical character in a morality tale.

That's not in keeping with the Scriptures. Paul says, "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come."

According to Paul, death had lordship over everyone, beginning with Adam. Even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression.
Adam is the figure of him that was to come(Christ). And Christ is a son of Adam.

Paul is just reinterpreting the myth hundreds of years later to apply it to Jesus.

From Strong's:
"2919 (krinō) originally meant "separate." So Homer, of Ceres separating the grain from the chaff (Iliad, v, 501). Thence, 'to distinguish, to pick out, to be of opinion, to judge' " (WS, 418).]"
Separate good and evil, separate what was done right from what was done wrong. To se progress of passed life, so, to see where corrections are due.salvation starts with removal of ignorance by invoking Christ within that leads to removal evil from consciousness so consciousness can judge self, then 'separation' becomes redundant.
