Correct, because the Purgatory is not something where men pay for their sin. Christ paid for their sins already by the time they are in there.

Thus, there's no point for purgatory.

I don't think you get to decide what in the Bible has a "point" and what has no "point". Further, if you examine the scripture, you learn the point: so that a purified "building" -- the soul -- can enter Heaven: "but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire" (1 Cor 3:15).
