No it’s not. John MacArthur put it well. Without purgatory, Catholicism is a hard sell. Since they have no assurance of Salvation, they must have some idea of a second chance, after death. That is purgatory.
I was told I could get a soul out of purgatory, by attending mass on 9 straight first Fridays, or 5 straight first Saturdays, with a generous donation. I felt powerful, that I could actually get a soul out of purgatory. I asked if I could know the name of the person that I got out of Purgatory.
I know where the real Purgatory is. It’s in Colorado, and it has great skiing. 👍😀 But, the doctrine of purgatory, is out of the pit of hell. I can’t believe I used to accept it as gospel truth. It’s not.
