Uh, no. Purgatory is a work performed by the person aided by prayers of others - that's by definition of the RCC. The change that happens to a Christian at death according to scripture is instant and a work of God. The two are not complimentary - rather they are contradictory. And erring to the side of truth, the Bible wins.

Then we won't spend an awful long time in Purgatory because the verse says:
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." - I Cor 15:52
