You do know that we teach that those "in purgatory" are already saved, right? The 'works' done in purgation do not lead to salvation,they result from it.

Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

You guys go ahead and try to work your way into the presence of God.. I am clothed in Christ.. I will trust in Christ

Jhn 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

It seems to me those quotes support my side of the argument. Purgation does not wash away sins but their effect on the sinner and those who have washed may still need parts of them washed again.
