He was an anti-Catholic bigot

Hunt was not anti Catholic, he had nothing against those who follow Catholicism.

He spent part of his life exposing un-Biblical and extra-Biblical areas of Catholicism to the betterment of Christianity.

Nice job throwing hate into the mix when someone who disagrees with your belief system dies.

One of the areas he exposed is purgatory, where Jesus' proclaimation of "It is finished" is ignored,

The latter council described purgatory as a place where the souls of the dead make expiation "in the next life through fire and torments or purifying punishments." According to Vatican II, "in purgatory the souls of those ‘who died in the charity of God and truly repentant, but who had not made satisfaction with adequate penance for their sins and omissions’ are cleansed after death with punishments designed to purge away their debt." The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes purgatory as place of "cleansing fire."[1031]
Ignored as well is Peter's proclamation "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God..."...1 Peter Chapter 3:18a

Notice it does not say "bring us to purgatory to get extra punishment for our sins even though Jesus died for them...once and for all"

Rest in Peace, Dave Hunt and thank you for all you did to correct errors in many areas.

You apparently know even less about the doctrines Hunt attacked than he did.

Nothing Jesus said in any way goes against the idea of Purgatory. “It is finished” refers to His act of sacrifice not how His act of sacrifice would effect us.

And no Catholic is ignoring what Peter said in 1 Peter 3:18. If you knew what Purgatory is you would know it is not about punishment for sins in the sacrificial sense - Jesus took care of that - it is merely purging for our attachment to sin so that we can enter Heaven perfectly cleansed as required by Rev. 21:27. Ever notice how many Protestants ignore what Peter said three verses later in 1 Peter 3:21?

“Rest in Peace, Dave Hunt and thank you for all you did to correct errors in many areas.”

The ultimate irony is, if he is going to Heaven, he’ll probably be suffering in Purgatory quite a bit.
