I find those that say only scripture can save, run up against the scripture that says (Paraphrase) Jesus did and taught many things that are not written down, for the whole earth could not contain it all....Jesus did not teach only those things put to scripture, but much that is not...I see purgatory as a place of removing the dross from the gold...Just my opinion but I think that when we pray for those in purgatory, we do not lessen the fire that is burning off the dross from the gold of the soul, but may be giving the soul a small but temp. relief of their suffering. And didn't the o.t. and I forget who said it....it is a good and holy thing to pray for the dead. So there are dead not in hell, or heaven....Haven't read the bible in a long time, but at times subjects come up that jog my memory...right or wrong it is not for me judge, we are not even to judge ourselves, only God can do that New Testement....
