“but you still need purged of remaing self love, the sinful nature you carried in life,”
I confidently disagree with that comment. Can you tell me where you got this idea?
The beauty is that time will tell!

ME: Sure, lets start with a couple of things first, to start with, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27)
Secondly, John himself notes that there is mortal and venial type sins:
There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death” (1 John 5:16-17
(sin that DOES NOT lead to death)
So, then, while we may die with our mortal sins forgiven, there can still be many impurities in us, specifically venial sins and the temporal punishment due to sins, and that requires the purification ‘fires’ of purgatory.
