Ya'll never watched rudolph as kids? I give you allusion from something popular and known and everyone scratches their heads.. Here's a hint, Death. Sin is death in the spirit for those who die in sin. Purgatory is an illusion that pulls the teeth out of that bumble and makes people think they can make it if only their sins aren't that big... Sin is death. The Bumble's teeth arent pulled, the RCC just put blackout on the teeth and use flowery words to say 'look, it can't touch you.' Unfortuneately for those who don't know scripture, they'll not realize the deception till the Bumble bites and the Word of God judges them and sends them to hell.
It's been a while. Now with Sarah give mea year or two and I'll have the whole set of them on DVD. "I'm Mr Heat Miser, I'm mister sun..."

Purgatory is the consequence of the sins. Thinking that Catholics believe or teach that you can be a little bit bad and "don't worry Purgatory will take care of it" is just as much a caricature as a Catholic thinking that Protestants believe that they are saved by "faith" and can sin all they want.
They are both unfair depictions of what the other believes.
