Do you believe in Purgatory?
“Do you believe in Purgatory?”
Did Christ ever refer to it? No. There isn’t an option of “you don’t actually have to ‘believe in Me’, you just have to endure time in a Cosmic Washing Machine and you’ll then be ready for Heaven, which since the duration there is eternal any time spent anywhere else is really irrelevant”. Christ made clear “you’re in, or you’re out” - no intermediary nor alternative process where others can pray/pay for your accelerated cleansing. Purgatory COMPLETELY misses the point of Christ’s message.
