Another instance of Catholics not being able to agree on doctrine or scripture intrepretation. I thought your pope was infallible.

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.

Purgatory is one of the following:
1)Purgatory is a place for the saved to "work out" their salvation.
2)Purgatory is a place for the unsaved to get saved.
3)Both
4)None of the above

I wish I could go back and find to post. I know that what was posted after I quoted the verse, (I'm thinking, but could be wrong that it was Arthur, remember him) was, "do you know that is a verse we base purgatory on." I remember because the comeback surprised me and I went back and read the whole book to make sure I had the verse in context.
