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.

“But if there be only conjecture taken from Scripture that does not support it, please admit that it is a man-made doctrine.”

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.

There are newspaper reports all over the world showing people worshiping the Pope and what they think is Mary, yet you and other RCC watchdogs deny their existence. These things are not a matter of doctrine and do not need to be defended. Purgatory is one of several doctrines of the RCC that I do not find in Scripture. If it’s there, show me.

Oh, and your presumption to know what I will or will not do IF you were to reveal the Biblical source for this doctrine is another common practice of RCC watchdogs. But presumption is a sin - moght put you in purgatory.
