Catholics believe that the dead can be saved.

Christians believe that praying for the dead has merit, and that God hears those prayers.

Some Christians believe that praying for the dead has merit, and that God hears those prayers.

Most do not. Unless you're saying that Catholics and Mormons are the only Christians.

Sorry, only Catholics and Jews pray for the dead. They do because of the book of 2 Maccabees. Most Protestants believe the book is apocryphal. Any protestant that prays for the dead is a Catholic in protestant clothing.

THAT IS A BALD-FACED LIE, SINKSPUR!

Catholics believe that.

Bible-believing Christians DO NOT believe that the dead can be saved if they die without accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour, and we DO NOT believe in "purgatory".

I urge you to speak for CATHOLICS ONLY when posting such bald faced lies as you have just done.
