[PetroniusMaximus]

***Of course, but those who die as Christians, but have unrepented sin have to be cleansed right?***

"For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For o­ne will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person o­ne would dare even to die-- but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."

Rom 5

If you threw in some blue and green text, or up the point size or something, I might be convinced of what you're trying to infer, but didn't actually come out and say.

Give it a whirl. I'm on the dense side. If that doesn't work, we can go for allcaps and see if that works.

If you notice I did not put this in general discussion, it was put under Catholic Prayer. It was not an invitation for Protestants to challenge Catholic doctrine on purgatory. It was not an apologetics thread.

If you don't accept the doctrine on purgatory so be it. If by the grace of Our Lord you should end up there one day, you'll be pleased to know many Catholics will be praying for you, as they pray for all the souls in purgatory with no one to pray for them, because all of their relatives do accept its existence.

PM, do you want to start a thread to discuss indulgences?
