The firey place referred to in scripture is where the damned, the Evil One and his minions will go after the Final Judgment. Christ descended to the Place of the Dead, not that firey place. My comment was meant to show that I didn't know when or why the West confused the two. That confusion is what can lead to the theological misunderstandings which this change in the wording of the Apostles Creed is designed to correct. Of course, rather than changing the wording, I suppose the Latin Church could simply catechize the laity, and probably a good portion of the clergy, properly in this matter.

It looks as though Christ was saying that we also can be cast into the fire.

Your previous post seemed to imply that there wasn't a fiery place at all. Glad we cleared that up, LOL!
As far as being catechized properly in this matter, please read this and I think you will see that we are:
The Profession of the Faith
Hopefully, this will show that we aren't that far apart.
