On my Catholic education:

8 years Catholic grade school

4 years Catholic high school

weekly CCD classes by quite conservative Novus Ordo RCC priest

parents subscribed to National Catholic Register, the Wanderer, Fidelity and The Remnant, and I read them while growing up

my parents fought the Novus Ordo modernism tooth and nail and are now in the SSPX - I would politiely challenge you to ask them if they considered me to be inadequately catechized

I subscribed to Fidelity and Remnant in undergrad college and never stopped contending against modernism in the Catholic Church

Yes, on 1 Cor 3:15 and Maccabees, I was thoroughly catechized in those passages. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment.” Heb 9:27

I got saved when God convinced me that only Christ’s death is acceptable as full payment for my sin.

Possible overreaction? (Sometimes the SSPX crowd do go a bit overboard, as do the sedevacantists. I had to advise my daughter at college against attending their chapel there, even though the local parish is Loony Jesuits. She has to drive 20 miles to get to an orthodox parish. Sometimes I swear the Catholics can be as bad as the Piskies, what with the High, Middle and Low . . . )

I wish it were possible for everybody to get just the right amount of catechesis, like Goldilocks.

Speaking seriously, I don't believe that it is Catholic teaching that Christ's sacrifice is NOT a "full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world". It doesn't appear that Purgatory has anything to do with that. And I for one will be exceedingly grateful for the opportunity to get cleaned up, whether (as another poster said) it takes a fuzzy cloth or a wire brush . . . or a sandblaster.
