Yet not once in the New Testament is Purgatory mentioned. Jesus while on the cross tells the thief that he will be in in paradise that very day. No making atonement or
“paying for” the sins of his life. Luke 23:43

Big mistake. “Until the last penny is paid.” for one. I’ll post some other shortly.

Not necessarily. No punctuation in the original Greek, so it's ambiguous.

Also the Greek word "Paradise" may be interpreted as the Limbo of the Fathers, not Heaven.

Paradise is not Heaven. The word in Greek is completely different.
