But you really aren't, God just sees you that way? I am sorry but in Heaven I will be truly pure. Innocent, not merely "acquitted.
But the way God sees me is the only thing that is important! Your spliting hairs, and this is the kind of remark that shows the convoluted way catholics keep issues confused so that no one really knows what to think.
You think that being "seen" as pure versus being actually made pure is "splitting hairs"? Why is the power of Christ apparently limited to only "covering" our sins? It can only fool God into thinking we are clean? Why isn't Christ powerful enough to actually make us pure?

Thus, Jesus Christ declares (Matthew 12:32): "And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come."
This is in no way supportive of purgatory....Not even remotely. On this one, Augustine's used faulty logic...like a lot of logic concerning extra-biblical religious concepts.
I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. Was there an argument in their somewhere, or did you just wave your hands and say "nothing here"?
Please speak to the meaning of the sin not being forgiven in this world or in the world to come. Was our Lord just being pointlessly redundant or is there some significance here?
