There is no purgatory. There is Heaven and hell, that’s it. all purification happens in life. Don’t count on purgatory as a way to live poorly and still be saved.
you’re saved by faith alone, but the works of salvation should follow.
Remember the words of Jesus to the thief on the cross. He didn’t got to any purgatory, but went with Jesus to Paradise.
I don't believe his name is recorded. Traditionally he is given the name Dismas. Or rather 'Saint Dismas'.
Dismas is an example of a Saint who to our eyes - like St Madgalene - appeared to come very, very late to the vineyard.
Not too late though. We can't be sure, but it looks like the first Saint in heaven may have been this penitent thief.
Imagine the scene of Golgotha. In all those horrific hours of the crucifixion one voice was raised in prayer and praise of the living God - and it was the voice of Dismas saying 'Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom'.
