True, Luther broke free Truth from papal imprisonment -- for that we should be grateful. Curious though -- he couldn't quite bring himself to reject that magical "weighing station" in the sky created out of thin air -- 'Purgatory.'

If one accepts the particular judgement, then purgatory is logial, not magical, as Dr. Johnson once commented. We observe that most men are not saints or reprobates but somewhere in the middle, so that our hearts do seem to require weighing.

It's not a "weighing station," it's a car wash.
