I think it's just as reasonable to propose that Christ's death accomplished justice for all in a way that God understands and applies as it is to propose that Christ's death only accomplishes applied justice for an individual who accepts it.

That seems like it would be irresistible grace without limited atonement. So instead of changing the heart of a rebellious sinner into one that accepts grace it's applying mercy to everyone even if they don't want it and forcibly changing them into something that can live with God for eternity. Or the alternative would be perhaps raging sinners and homicidal maniacs roaming the new heaven and new earth- which doesn't really sound like paradise at all

I'd say it's part and parcel of every knee bowing and tongue confessing. Seeing/meeting the face of God would be the heart-changing moment, I'd say.
