Boeing G/S mode

Good morning

A quick query if I may regarding Boeing AFDS. If Glideslope is captured with the MCP altitude set below the GS capture point will the aircraft level at the MCP altitude or continue below as G/S is the active mode?

Thanks in advance….

Once the G/S is captured you will fly straight through the MCP alt. It won't stop you on the way down but it will stop you on the way back up after a G/A.
