What is purgatory? and where is it mentioned in the Bible?

In Catholic theology, Purgatory is a place or state in which the deceased who have not done sufficent penance for their sins in this life go to finish their penance.

Purgatory is temporary and will cease to exist at the Last Judgment.

The classical Scriptural locus for is 1 Corinthians 3:13-15.

I always thought that we couldnt do enough penance for our sins so Jesus had to die. So if Jesus died for our sins wouldn't that nulify the need for a purgatory?
