No, I meant works done in Charity (1Cor.13:3)
, every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour. 9 For we are God's coadjutors: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble: 13 Every man's work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. I highlighted a few segments. First, the whole building metaphore refers to the man himself, not to the product of his works, such as his dwelling, furniture, etc. Second, that building is tried by fire, and what is not of Christ is burned off, after which the man is saved, but not without suffering "as by fire". It is the soul of the Christian man that is thus tried, suffers, and is saved.
What is going through the fire is the man's works not his sins.
So, despite having fleshy works burnt up, he himself remains saved.
The works are being 'tried', to see if the source was from God (Charity) or from the flesh.
The man is not being tried, his works are.
Here it is:
And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
We have a specific reference to the body being burned here, not any disembodied works.
What is going through the fire is the man's works not his sins.
I think the scirpture speaks for itself here: "you are God's building", it says, and with that metaphorical premise St. Paul proceeds to explain how parts of that building, that is parts of the man, that are of low probity, are burned. It is correct that these are not mortal sins, because the man is purified from them and is saved in the end. This process of purification by fire that ends in salvation is the Purgatory doctrine.
