The word "purgatory" occurs exactly four times in the Catechism of the Catholic Church but only once in the Baltimore Catechism, but thank you for reinforcing my point that the posting by RnMomof7 was deceptive by its very incompleteness.
You have to admit it is amazing how much truth and beauty even decrepit old anti-Catholic goofballs can find in the full Catechism of the Catholic Church. If my post led you to revisit it I succeeded.
So purgatory is NOT cleansing from sin...is that your final answer?
