So you are a fervent RC who cares not to defend a core belief of your church? If there is Biblical warrant that clearly supports purgatory, I will publicly admit it and begin defending it. But if there be only conjecture taken from Scripture that does not support it, please admit that it is a man-made doctrine.

No, I am not a cola. I am a Catholic. And I see no reason to deal with you according to the false premise you create.
“If there is Biblical warrant that clearly supports purgatory, I will publicly admit it and begin defending it.”
No you won’t. I remember quite clearly when you insisted that Catholics worshiped the pope. I asked for proof of this. You never provided any. I have no reason to believe you’ve become more courageous in the meantime.

Provide convincing evidence that Catholics worship both the Virgin Mary and the pope as you once claimed and I’ll be happy to provide you with evidence. Until then I see no reason to do anything for you.
Perhaps no one cares what you will admit or defend.
