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.

Sal said that God forgets her sin..if He has forgotten your sin..how can He remember how much purgatory time you need? ... No one dies without sinning.. but when God looks at me, He sees the righteousness of Christ that has been imputed to me

And your basis for that is what?

Just how pure does one have to be if sinless is not good enough?
