Well --- now that is enlightening. It's not a place. Then where does this "purgatorying" take place? In heaven or in hell or on earth or where???
As I've said before, the description of purgatory given by Catholic writers is "Hell with an exit pass". But what if you get there and the wardens don't honor that exit pass that your magisterium has issued to you???Your stay in that purgatorying place is then forever. And what do we all call that??? --- Hell.
So now we descend to the level of "Catholic writers" unnamed and unsourced referring to something that opposes what the Catechism says. Nice argument. Unless you can come up something with a little more substance, direct your anger elsewhere.
I trust that, in spite of your efforts, we can enlighten you. I don't know where Purgatory is. We can speculate, but we don't know. All we know is that it exists.
