Same here, TLLo’M, I think your fate is sealed once you die. I don’t find purgatory biblical.

How about the quote from Jesus: “Until you have paid the last penny.”

He wasn’t talking about hell.

I don't think you know what purgatory is, since you seem to think it means your fate isn't "sealed once you die".

And it most certainly means nothing of the sort.

It would be nice is people would actually bother to understand Catholicism before they reject it, rather than jumping to conclusions based on hearsay.

Only saved people, destined for heaven, even get to purgatory.
