Those are fictions conjure up in your mind, others also conjured up the worst about the Savior in order to Crucified him, and the same happen to his servants after the Lord left he earth.
You folks believe in a fairy tales of what your God should be instead of what is real that going for the gold is to be tried and tested.
Meaning to have eternal life must one go through the refiner’s fire
1. Zech. 13:
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
2. Mal. 3:
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3. 3 Ne. 24:
2 But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller’s soap.
4. D&C 128:
24 Behold, the great day of the Lord is at hand; and who can abide the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller’s soap; and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book containing the records of our dead, which shall be worthy of all acceptation.

Thanks to some here, I have received information that I can investigate further. If you wish to match verse for verse, I would direct you first to the entire Bible that the Church Fathers established, and then to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I submit to you that not only is the Catechism (and the various other Church writings) the information and direction that God Almighty wishes us to live by, it is accurate, directed by the Holy Spirit, and is free to all and not held in secret. It is not the light under the bushel, but rather the Light of God shining out from the mountaintop.
That is why I believe that many Protestants got their knickers in a twist over the Pope’s recent pronouncements. He’s right, and therefore, they aren’t.
