There is no such thing as a state of existence after death called "purgatory." When we lay aside this fleshly body in death, we go directly to heaven---the apostle Paul refers to this as "going Home."

Are you going to heaven the way you are now, or shall you be changed?

I'm sorry, Dave; at this point, I can only speculate, because I'm not aware of any solid evidence one way or the other. I do know THIS, though: Although my life on earth may not be sinless, the Lord *could* welcome me Home just the way I am right now, because He dealt with my sin at Calvary, and the righteousness of Christ has been imputed to me, and that would be the basis of His "Welcome Home!" The depths of God's grace through the death, the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ!! Praise to the Lamb of God!
