Who said it’s a half-way measure? Who said it’s a second chance?
You did, not me.
You see, such tactics are well known on these threads (putting words in somebody’s mouth that were never spoken)
But, hey, you believe what you want to believe. When the blinders are removed in the end, you’ll see if you were right or not.
Jesus says:

Further....What happens to all the people that are supposedly in this mythical place when Jesus comes and their purging is not complete?
And what of those who never entered purgatory to be purged when he comes back, how do they get accepted?
When Jesus, (our great High Priest), went to Heaven He sat down at the right hand of the Father.....Hebrews teaches us the Priest never sets down until the task ‘is complete.’
Jesus completed all that we could not do nor can we ever do.
