The Catholic Church teaches that individuals retain their unique identities in Heaven. The communion of saints, which is in the Nicene Creed that catholics follow, implies a community of individuals who, though perfectly united in Christ, maintain their personal distinctiveness. In Heaven, people fully become what they were created to be, reaching the perfection of their nature in a way that fully actualizes their individual personality and gifts.
According to St Thomas Aquinas, the beatific vision of God does not dissolve the individual's personality into God. Instead, each person's intellect sees God in a manner unique to their being. While all enjoy God fully, the capacity to understand and love God, shaped by one's personal journey and disposition, differs among individuals (Summa Theologica, I, q. 12, a. 4).
And catholics also believe that Heaven, after the final judgement, will have a physical and material dimension too. Everyone will ressurect and get a new body, just like Jesus did. And our new bodies will reflect our soul.
