It’s straight to heaven anyways, when you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, no such thing as purgatory.

Ahhh, we Catholics believe one must be cleansed of their sins before they go to heaven....Baptists disagree.....ALL Christians go to heaven they think, no matter what sins they have on their souls when they die....then they say that God can’t look at sin, which is contradictory if one would think about for two seconds.

Scripture says otherwise.

no such thing as purgatory.

Again, Scripture says otherwise. You'd better pray there's a purgatory because as St. John wrote in the Apocalypse nothing defiled shall enter heaven. If you arrogantly think that you'll be perfect upon your death and waltz right into heaven you're going to be in for a very rude awakening.

A few other things which Scripture teaches and which you've quite obviously never read:

"Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:20-21

"And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:15-16

No purgatory.

The thief on the cross was admitted to paradise, with Jesus, that day.

When I accepted Jesus, He covered me in His righteousness. That is what God will see. Not me. Please, not me. Jesus took on al my sin that day on the cross.

Thank you Jesus.

Perfect justice means no one unclean enters heaven. I use the broken window story to explain. The litttle boy accidently breaks the window with the baseball - asks forgiveness - receives it - the window is still broken though - purgatory is dealing with the window glass that you broke. We are creatures - redemption opened the gates of heaven - no free passes Sorry
