Okay, and believers who leave this life in the state of grace but still with some attachment to sin are purified through Christ's sacrifice how, when, and where, exactly?

Keep in mind that Scripture says that nothing unclean can enter heaven and that our God is a consuming fire. No attachment to sin can survive in his presence, can it?

Of course. Our sins are covered by the blood of Christ. Blood is required for the remission of sins. Once and for all it was done on the Cross. That is faith -- trusting that all of our sins are pardoned by God.

The moment Christ died, he took ALL the sins of the world on Him -- not some of them.

It is up to us whether we accept His "grace."

As He said to His Father according to Scripture: "It is done."

"Keep in mind that Scripture says that nothing unclean can enter heaven and that our God is a consuming fire. No attachment to sin can survive in his presence, can it?"

Hear ya...

Again, through the Lord's mercy, that was the reason for the sinless Christ's sacrifice. NO man was/is sinless but by and through the redemption of the Savior....
