Limbo is the place for those who die unbaptized before the age of reason/consent, not for adults. It is an answer to the dilemna of where those souls go who have not committed any personal sin, but still have the stain of original sin.
In limbo souls would exist in a state of perfect natural happiness, but not possess the Beautific Vision, or supernatural happiness that souls in heaven have.
