What started our interchange was my trying to deal with somebody who said that indulgences, Purgatory, etc. meant that forgiveness could be purchased.

You intruded yourself into the conversation to tell me that I was wrong about what the Catholic Church teaches. The subject on which you corrected me was what the Church teaches.

Now you are saying that you didn't know that we were talking about what the Church teaches?

Except THEN you say
I do understand completely what the RCC teaches, and do not misunderstand it at all, as some would assert blindly.

I cannot believe this because the first time you said it, as you were busying yourself telling me you understood it better than I, you expressed in incorrectly, and now you treat the most basic aspect of the thing,the distinction between eternal and temporal punishment as something recondite and intricate.

This is just crazy.

Yep, it sure is crazy the way you are twisting things around.
