Believers are believers and salvation is salvation. Two different things. By the way, you don’t understand what purgatory is if you think that it contains anyone but people of their way to salvation — as 1 Cor 3:15 makes clear. Read the Scripture with love and attention and you will leave the Protestant rubbish behind and be on your way to salvation in the Holy Catholic Church, too.

1Cr 3:15 — If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Now in context, what is this chapter about? Here Paul is speaking of MINISTRIES..about WORKS not sin.. He is speaking of the rewards for faithful ministries

1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, , and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able
3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

What has been done by the Catholic church has taken a scripture out of context (what else is new) and forced a non biblical doctrine into it .

This scriptures is about the judgement of ministries,,(works) It is not about sin ...
