How so? "Every man" cannot apply to the clergy alone, nor are the church leadership the only people who build on the foundation of faith. We all do, or rather, are supposed to.
And, I ask again, is it your opinion that the clergy (however understood) go through the purgatory but other Christians do not?
Not once in that chapter is Paul talkint to the lay people. He is talking to “every man” who is a leader of some sort.

Good grief. Get that purgatory think out of you head for just a minute here. When pastors or church leaders or teachers teach Christians they either teach the milk of scripture or the meat. That’s what the chapter is talking about. If a Christian is a “milk’ Christian they are not strong in the faith and when the fire of temptation comes they may fall away, “be burned up”. If they are taught the “meat” of scripture they will become strong in the faith and will endure the “fire” of temptations. The teachers will be rewarded in the hereafter according to the strength and endurance in the faith of the people they taught or pastured. The more people who they teach with the “meat” scripture who become strong enough to withstand the “fire” of temptation the more their reward will be at the throne judgment at the end of time.
