"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." - I Cor 15:52
I never said, nor did the Church, that it would take any "time" as we know it.

That's true, you did not mention time. But doesn't the Catholic Church teach that a person will indeed spend an enormous amount of time in Purgatory?
If you scroll down to the section on duration here you will see that your traditions do indeed teach that souls will spend "time" in Purgatory, some until the Final Judgement.
IV. DURATION AND NATUREDuration
The very reasons assigned for the existence of purgatory make for its passing character. We pray, we offer sacrifice for souls therein detained that "God in mercy may forgive every fault and receive them into the bosom of Abraham" (Const. Apost., P. G., I col. 1144); and Augustine (De Civ. Dei, lib. XXI, cap.xiii and xvi) declares that the punishment of purgatory is temporary and will cease, at least with the Last Judgment. "But temporary punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by others after death, by others both noow and then; but all of them before that last and strictest judgment."
That seems like a long time to me.
