Catholics with their purgatory and limbo, Mormons with their “pray me out of hell” scenarios become null an void via Heb 9:27.

Mormons don’t believe one can be “prayed out of hell”

The LDS beliefs that are similar to this book have to do with the saving ordinance of baptism for the dead, an ordinance done vicariously here on earth, and is either accepted or rejected by the subject who's work is done in the next life. It’s referenced briefly in Corinthians as well.

1 Corinthians 15:29
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

****

Jesus paid the price for those preceding as well as those not yet born!

1 Peter 3

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

and in verse Heb 28 it is said and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Heb 9

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The resurrection of the dead is not null and void. Read the readings from tomorrow’s liturgy. The first reading and the Gospel talk about the Resurrection of the dead.
