BTW, I was told that on these threads after I used that verse to show that sins, or not doing God's will would not cause us to loose salvation, just rewards.

Becky, I think it comes down to what you said. You said Purgatory was "based on" that passage. That is what allend objected to. It's not like we read the Bible and said, look here, there must be a Purgatory. The passage from Corinthians you cited shows that there is a Purgatory, but the belief is older than the Scripture. Hence saying it is "based on" it is untrue.
