There isn’t a single word in any of the epistles suggesting any form of punishment of the Elect.
“If any man’s WORK shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
.
It clearly states the the feckless WORKS will be burned, not the believer!
Catholics are conditioned from birth to expect the Lord to inflict pain and punishment on them; this is why few catholics will ever be saved: they believe in another Jesus!
The Jesus of catholics is not the savior, but the warden, and they must turn to Mary/Ishtar for the mercy that Bible believers expect fron their savior.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." -- Romans 8:33-34"Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

AMEN! Roman Catholics do not understand grace nor what it has already accomplished.
"(Christ) his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." -- 1 Peter 2:24

So true....
The believer is purified as inferior material burns off. No one said anything about punishment. Purgatory means the place of purification, not punishment.
Read the scripture with attention and you will become convinced in the truth of the Catholic Church.
