Eastern Orthodox do not believe in Purgatory, nor do they believe in any number of Roman novelties that were the source of the schism that occurred going on close to a thousand years ago. Sheol is not Purgatory and Gehinnom is not Purgatory, therefore Orthodox Jews do not believe in Purgatory.
Roman Catholics do believe themselves to have replaced Jews as God's chosen people, and accept the Deuterocanonical books whereas the Jews rejected them, therefore it's a peculiar thing to see a Roman Catholic making such citations in an attempt to support erroneous contentions.
Here’s the Eastern Orthodox version of purgatory. And those dummy Orthodox PRAY TO THE DEAD. Can you believe they would do something so “unscriptural”. Don’t they listen to Jimmy Swaggart and the good ole boys that know a lot more about Christianity than they do. Well I can’t believe they would be so arrogant!!
The Orthodox believe that the state of the soul in Hades can be affected by the love and prayers of the righteous up until the Last Judgment. For this reason the Church offers a special prayer for the dead on the third day, ninth day, fortieth day, and the one-year anniversary after the death of an Orthodox Christian. There are also several days throughout the year that are set aside for general commemoration of the departed, sometimes including nonbelievers. These days usually fall on a Saturday, since it was on a Saturday that Christ lay in the Tomb.
