Purgatory is not a way to "get out of hell." They are entirely different things. Try not to display your ignorance.

Please, do enlighten us. What is the difference in getting prayed out of Purgatory and the way to "get out of hell?"

There is no way to "get out of hell." That's one big difference.

After we die, we are juedged. If we are found lacking we get thrown into hell and that's the end of that.

If we are holy and pure and without any attachment to sin in our lives, we enter Heaven directly.

If we are without unrepented mortal sin and yet retain some impurity, some attachment to sin, we undergo a cleansing process which enables us to enter God's presence. Nothing impure can enter God's presence.

This process of removing our impurities is called purgation. Anyone undergoing this transformation is destinied for Heaven. They have been judged and found to be a saint.
