You can't enter heaven until you are totally paid up for all your sins And here I was thinking that the Christ took care of that. Silly me.
Purgatory is not to pay for your sins Your sins have all been paid for when Jesus died on the Cross. Purgatory is to cleanse your soul. Nothing unclean can enter Heaven. your soul has to be clean.No one in purgatory is condemned they are on their way to Heaven this is just the car wash or dish washer.

Example you have premarital sex your sin is forgiven but you have AIDS AIDs is the repercussion of sinning. Your soul has many repercussions from sinning. The Soul needs to be cleanse Whether the time to cleanse your sin is a billionth of a second a min ,hour year or 10,000 year. The time it takes for cleansing is purgatory.

The amount of sin does not dictate the amount of time you spend in purgatory either. Someone could have more sins and be released from purgatory sooner. The soul that lets go of their sin will be release sooner than the soul that holds on to their sin and they take longer to purify. Also God can do what ever he wants
