“There is nothing in Scripture that supports the praying of dead people’s souls out of something considered “Purgatory”.’
Sola scriptura for dummies...blah blah...yawn.
“However, if you do believe it’s up to God, but still based upon, in part, prayers of the living on behalf of those who are dead”
Your words, not mine. Also, not the Catholic belief. The creation of your strawman by being dishonestly creating words and thoughts that are not mine - makes me question your good intentions on behalf of defending your relligion.
Prayers out for you.
Please briefly describe what the Catholic church believes about purgatory and of praying on behalf of souls there.
If the Catholic church no longer believes such things, I stand corrected.
