"What if there is no "second chance" to clean up you life?"

That's not what Purgatory is for, though.

*** That's not what Purgatory is for, though.***

According to the New Advent Encyclopedia it is.

"Purgatory (Lat., "purgare", to make clean, to purify) in accordance with Catholic teaching is a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions."

What do you believe "Purgatory" is for?
