What is the work of a leader, teacher, or pastor of a church? It is to lead people to salvation, but I do not dispute that the leaders will go to purgatory based in part on the weaknesses of their tending the flock. Wha tthe scripture says is that every "man's work" will be tested after death, not merely the work of the pastors.

"Wha tthe scripture says is that every "man's work" will be tested after death, not merely the work of the pastors." Every Catholic deacon, priest and bishop, including the pope, goes to confession because all are sinners. It seems that Protestants expect more from Catholic clergy than God does. I suppose we should be flattered.
