***One of our Catholic posters asked Kolo and me if we believed in Purgatory.***

The belief/idea of purgatory has been around for many years, and known to almost everyone. An acceptable question.

The theory brought up was unknown to almost every one. That is like asking if you believe that blue cars save more gas than brown cars. Not only have you never thought about it, you don’t even know if the premise is viable.

The Latin dogma of "purgatory" was unknown to the Church for more than one THOUSAND years. The Greek side is the Church of the Seven Councils (last Ecumenical Council was in the 8th century AD) and therefore such a question is really way off the target.
