Exactly! That's what Purgatory is. It is the change we go through.

Uh, no. Purgatory is a work performed by the person aided by prayers of others - that's by definition of the RCC. The change that happens to a Christian at death according to scripture is instant and a work of God. The two are not complimentary - rather they are contradictory. And erring to the side of truth, the Bible wins.

I know the idea of Christians praying for each other is abhorent to you, but why is it I don't believe you know what the Catholic Church teaches?

Prove that the Catholic Church teaches that purgatory is "a work performed by the person." When will you learn that you don't have the foggiest notion what you are talking about. It's been what? three days in a row I have called you on stating false teachings of the Church. You haven't backed up any of them.

Do you have any comments on my "thought experiment"? Can you tell me the difference between what Mr C did and the definition given by Reggie in post 2730?
