And that's not uncommon especially with religions that tell you that you can lose your salvation...Well her point was that hers was one of those which said you couldn't lose your salvation but which also said "everybody talkin' 'bout heaven ain't goin' there," that you could THINK you were saved and be wrong.

Put it like this, Mad Dawg. If a person believes he can lose his salvation, then he MUST believe that his works are keeping him saved.
"I do not frustrate THE GRACE OF GOD: for if righteousness come BY THE LAW, then Christ is DEAD IN VAIN." (Gal. 2:21).

Bro,
I’m mildly curious about something that seems inconsistent to me . . . .
1. Those construed to be in purgatory per your system’s theology are A) BEST? or ONLY? able to be prayed out by folks still alive as mortals.
2. Sounds like somehow, in that case, those CLOSER TO THEM—BELIEVERS ALREADY RESIDING IN HEAVEN—that your system construes as powerful prayer intercessors—are NOT (A) effective? (B) allowed? (C) interested in bothering with such cases?
