> Could we actually die? What would happen to us if we did?

>Yes. As far as you know, you would face the same judgment as any dead soul. However, as one born in Hakugyokurou, you are a step closer to Nirvana than most beings simply by being that further removed from the circle of reincarnation. What this would mean for you in concrete terms is not something you are privileged to know, so it is probably not a good idea to get a swelled head about it.
