Sanctuary Doctrine: Why do "Evangelicals" despise it?

"Evangelical theologians modified the Sanctuary doctrine by reducing it to a literary expression that uplifts the central doctrine of justification by faith alone. Besides, the very idea of judgment contradicts the Evangelical notion of the assurance of salvation." Fernando Canale


But there is a JUDGMENT
Paul says -  ...for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:10


There are 3 Phases of the JUDGMENT
1) Investigative (to see who is saved and who is lost) before His return
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:10

2) Saints Judge (to see that God made the right choice about the wicked) during millennium
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4

3) Wicked Judge (after the millennium) that God made the right decision as to them
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:12
