Unfortunately, what you just described isn’t in Scripture, and is contrary to the meaning of the atonement which is the Gospel.

In part II of this article, you will read some of Pope Saint Gregory the Great's thoughts on Purgatory, written in the early 7th century AD and the development of the Catholic doctrine on Purgatory. Gregory quotes the following passage from Scripture, saying:

“…It is plain that in such state as a man departs out of this life, in the same he is presented in judgment before God. But yet we must believe that before the day of judgment there is a Purgatory fire for certain small sins: because our Savior says, “That he which speaketh blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, that it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come [Matthew 12:32].”

How does one a protestant explain our Savior's words? Or does he just conveniently ignore them?

in the early 7th century AD

600 years after the Apostles!

"And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the one about to come. (literal Greek Translation from Wuest)

The rest of your quote is totally made up and not something the Savior said.

In this instance, since He said it would never be forgiven, the false doctrine of purgatory would do no good anyway.

I guess the same way Catholics explain (or ignore) "for six days G-d created the heavens and the earth and rested on the seventh day," or all those mythological chronologies in Genesis and Chronicles.

But the house of Lareto really did fly. We know because no "redneck" discredits this "miracle" by believing in it.
