I still haven’t had my question answered....if they are praying for the dead to be let out of purgatory how do they tell when they’re released?

For all they know, they could be praying to “saints” who are STILL in purgatory. Praying to someone to intercede on their behalf who is no more able to approach God from purgatory than Judas himself.

Is there any wonder that they can't be assured of salvation? It's all dependent on what man does.
