The first time you cut & pasted that ridiculous list in reply, I spent the better part of a day typing out a response. I refuse to repeat my work. If anyone wants, they can look at the scripture you cite, and then go here:

and read what Barnes or Gill have to say about those passages. They will find how utterly wrong it is to suggest these are about Purgatory, just as it is wrong to cite 1 Cor 3. After all, IAW the Vatican website, here is the Catholic commentary from the Vatican on 1 Cor 3:
“The text of 1 Cor 3:15 has sometimes been used to support the notion of purgatory, though it does not envisage this.”

Perhaps the easiest summary of why you are wrong is this:
You write, “We are only made perfect through purification, and in Catholic teaching, this purification, if not completed on earth, is continued in a transitional state we call purgatory.”
Scripture says, “14 For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated.”
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__P11P.HTM
“has made [past tense] perfect forever”
We have been made perfect by the offering of Christ on the Cross. In fact, “But God...made us [past tense] alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved [past tense]— 6and raised [past tense] us up with him and seated [past tense] us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...”
Not that we do not still sin in this life, but Jesus has rescued us and given us new birth - a new creation. “18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
“The first time you cut & pasted that ridiculous list in reply, I spent the better part of a day typing out a response. I refuse to repeat my work””
The truth bothers your heart. Now you have to use modernists to try and win the minds of your FR crowd because you realize you can;t win against Christ Chuch-The Holy Catholic Chuch!
