- The pursuit of perfect virtue should be central to my life.
- Necessarily, a virtue that does not completely guarantee acting rightly is not perfect.
- If an afterlife is unavailable, virtue that completely guarantees acting rightly is also unavailable.
- The pursuit of something unavailable should not be central to my life.
- So, an afterlife is available.

Without having defined whether virtue is contentful or more formal,... this sounds as though it is a reiteration of Kant's reasoning for why we need the practical postulate of immortality...
It's not an argument for a practical postulate, though, but a direct argument for the conclusion that an afterlife is available.
