Luke 23:43 -- "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."

Those who die in Christ do not go to purgatory. There is no purgatory.

That doesn't follow. First of all, we don't how exactly time works after we die. Purgatory could occur in an instant. Or it could take one day of time HERE on earth and countless ages in "afterlife" time. And secondly, which seems to go over most Protestant's heads, is that the dying crinimal was ALREADY suffering in THIS world for his sins, so it was certainly a distinct possibility that his punishment was being enacted while suffering his own crucifixion with Christ. We can pay Him now or pay Him later...

I have commented enough on the concept of Sola Fide being totally foreign to Scriptures, implied or explicit, so I won't further clutter this post.

So our SUFFERING is what saves us?

If that were true, the glory would go to us.

But it is not true. Christ's suffering is what saves us.

All glory to God.
