Tears of joy, because I KNOW my sins are forgiven and forgotten by God!

But Catholics believe they still need to do some purgatory burn time for them right?

Well, the "burn time" reference may be a bit of an over-dramatization in many cases, but generally yes, as a matter of fact. Purification in purgatory addresses not just non-mortal sins, but attitude and other "mental" factors as well. You see, even a sinless soul is not pure enough to face God directly.
