What makes you think that any pennance you do on earth or in purgatory is going to be sufficient to make you undefiled? Are you made righteous by Christ or by your own works or efforts?
If you are made righteous in Christ, then what purpose is served in your being punished for your sins. Did not Christ pay the penalty for those sins? Does God demand more judgment than that laid upon his Son at Calvary? Wasn't that sufficient?

And if your are purified by Christ on what basis can one possibly presume to affect the duration or difficulty of a process which is in CHRIST' hands?

"Does God demand more judgment than that laid upon his Son at Calvary?"
Apparently.
Because Jesus said that you will be judged by the standard by which you judges.
Jesus did not say "You will not be judged."
He was God, so presumably he knew what he was talking about.
