Wow...Purgatory!

I went through RCIA about eight years ago and in none of my classes did we learn anything about Purgatory. Indeed the word was never used.

I am not, by the way, trying to make any point by saying this. I’m simply reflecting on the fact.

Fortunately for you, freeper Salvation just posted a thread on this topic. It should make up for what you missed in RCIA.

Wow, that's a major omission!

Can you ask your RCIA instructor if it was somehow overlooked?

I've never been through RCIA, but that seems odd.
