Why would God send people to suffer in Purgatory? NO. He sends tribulation for us to purge out our sins here on earth before we die, not after. Such nonsense.

So you agree we experience "tribulation" as a way to purge us of our sins. That's what Catholics mean by purgatory! Same concept. Why can't it also happen after death, prior to our entering heaven? Plenty of Scripture supports this, as have been cited already.
