“As far as I have learned the Catholic Church does not define purgatory either, other than to claim it is purification of those who die with unrepented sins.”

What? So the Roman Catholic Church hasn’t said it’s a PLACE that you go?? That is defined. Not from Scripture either—the passage you quoted says nothing about having to go ANYWHERE.

“Purgatory” as a real place only exists in Westerns.

You seem awfully sure. Where in Canon law does it back up what you just said?

You might as well deny that Heaven is a ‘real’ place at least in the sense that we understand ‘real’ places to be.

Where is heaven? I don’t see that anywhere in scripture.
