So, in other words, your "Apostolic Tradition" for the dogma of purgatory has no Patristic evidence.

I didn't say that. Why do you think "tradition" is limited to prooftexts from the Fathers, though? It isn't. "Tradition" is simply the faith handed over to the saints. Period.

On the contrary, I do not have to prove a negative.

I guess you don't know what "to prove a negative" means, do you?

You're more interested in scoring debating points (and doing so using questionable techniques like sandbagging) than in an useful discussion, and my time is too scarce to waste. Good day.
