I'm glad that "Re-examining Lot" was already mentioned in the first comment because I think it would add depth to this already very insightful discussion.
One of the points in that essay was that there's a good chance that Lot was called to teach and represent his faith in a difficult place (far from letting Sodom's ways corrupt him out of his own selfishness.) That he was worthy of a visit from heavenly messengers seems to show that maybe he wasn't a telestial as we think. Food for thought.
I thought this was an interesting and provacative discussion. Thanks.

You might consider a recent article entitled "Re-examining Lot" in the Religious Educator that takes into account Peter's description of him, a better rendering of the Hebrew regarding "tent facing" as well as other important points.
