"Could we just buy an indulgence like catholics do"

First you would have to understand what an indulgence actually is and then your answer would be clear.

It is buying with works or cash some of the excess merits of Christ and of Mary and the saints.. stored in that Catholic treasury .

The full merit of Christ was applied at the cross.. that is why there is no need for man to purge himself..
