To show that they are different we only must find one variable or a method which does not belong to both a dead body and a corpse. This is not difficult to do!

When I die, I will leave behind a corpse and/or my dead body. Five thousand years later (given that resurrection did not, yet, occur) my corpse will no longer exist (being subject to natural decay). If my dead body is the same thing as my corpse that would mean that my dead body will no longer exist! And we know that not to be true! Because my dead body will still "sleep" awaiting the resurrection; my dead body will still exist despite the contrary of my corpse.
Methinks we are not getting down to the nitty gritty of this disagreement, but we ain't there quite yet. What remains is 1) for you to produce biblical evidence which teaches that dead bodies "sleep". 2) assuming you can do (1), then all that remains is to scrutinize the exegesis of that text(s) you are wanting to use.

Soooo, the proverbial "ball" is in your court. grin
