Upshot: acknowledge the RCC’s interpretation as absolutely correct, or go to Hell. Literally.

I'll repeat myself. Do you believe in Purgatory?

Well, the link referenced sure didn’t give Luther any chance at Purgatory if it exists.

...which raises the recurring question of: if everyone not positively & perfectly confessing Christ gets a “second chance” at the Cosmic Washing Machine of Purgatory as a route to Heaven, then how does anyone end up in Hell? Christ made clear that no sin was greater than another*, that any sin committed whatsoever condemns one to eternal damnation - that’s rather counter to the whole concept/purpose of Purgatory.

(* - yes there’s one narrow arguable exception. I’m waiting for you to fall into that trap; it will mean more to you then.)
