Yeah I’m inclined to agree with you on that bc it makes me feel less weird mostly. But I am curious; what provides your certainty?

The evidence of spiritual phenomena would imply that we retain memories and a sense of self upon death. Which implies the immortal soul of sentient beings at least. But if you are wicked, could you not be downgraded and forced to live as an inferior being?

But in the sea of energy of all living beings: flora and fauna, will they forever remain insentient or will they eventually earn it?
