The scripture actually says that the one who’s works are burnt that they will still be saved, but only as one escaping through the fire. Fire burns. Fire hurts. To escape through the fire means that you yourself will be burnt by the flames before you reach through the other side. Burnt and purified.

It doesn't say that in the scripture that I read...

1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

It says 'saved; yet so as by fire'...Not even saved by fire but saved as by fire...

The works get burned, not the man...No purgatory...

NIV has it as:

“If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.”
