Just so we understand, I did not say that the resurrection and change would happen only to the Corinthians. That's very obvious when we talk the resurrection, which includes way more than the Corinthians (and would mean it's a good thing we'll have spiritual bodies - as the earth will be so crowded many of us will be forced to stand in the same place at the same time).
Beside that, the resurrection and change Paul was telling the Corinthians about is an event -- yet to happen at that time -- that applied to all believers.
But the WE, in that verse, I'm saying, applies to those living back then ; that generation, of Paul & the Corinthians.
