So, you’re both in heaven and the last person to leave loses, assuming you mean just out of the two of you (since this is about winning a competition against the devil), the devil would leave immediately and win. Are you assuming the devil can’t then claim your soul since you’re already in heaven? Why not just make it “the last one to leave wins” and then you and the devil are in a staying-in-heaven stalemate.
If heaven is full of people that are alright with a cryptic contract that requires faith without evidence, then it’s a truly awful place to live.
Imagine being in heaven and knowing any of your loved ones were burning in hell for eternity. You can’t help them, and you’re supposed to think they deserved it.
That is my hell right there. Heaven is a contradictory concept that cannot exist in the way the Bible describes it.
Early concepts of heaven were a lot different than how we see it in pop culture. The concept was as vague as “you’re constantly surrounded by God’s love” which to me sounds a lot like you’re subjected to infinite bliss regardless of how the place looks or what agency you have. Existentially scary, but for the person in heaven they would never know.

The Devil technically didn’t win if you don’t leave heaven
Why would he leave you there after winning if you lost your soul at that point
Your soul would still be owned by the devil in the meantime, whatever that implies
I beg to differ.

I’m pretty sure they meant first one to leave loses (or last one to leave wins) and just had a brain fart.
