Could you please give me the biblical reference where "purgatory" is defined?

Thank You.

There are multiple references in the Old Testament and a couple in the New Testament. Since, however, the Church precedes the bible, limiting to biblical reference ignores the full set of Church works and doctrine.

Excellent instruction and apologetics on purgatory are at Purgatory Dogma Explained
