describing a protestant tactic isnt a personal attack. and you lack of historical knowledge of the early church is evident, despite your claim of studying it.
So again you attack ME rather than deal with the issue.
Here, I’ll help you...where are the priests in the NT, and what role did they play in the life of the church?
If you prefer, discuss Purgatory as covered by the Apostles, knowing, as you do, that Paul taught the church “the full counsel of God”.
