[Cronos]

1. Purgatory is in the Bible. You have the story of Lazarus and you have Maccabees 2.

2. As I said -- we are sanctified by Christ throughout our lives and in the final step, in what we call Purgatory our final sins of life are washed away so that we enter pure before God.

[chesley]

Well, Maccabees ain’t in the Bible.

Also, the rich man was in Hell, and Lazurus was being comforted, not tormented.

So, to be frank, I don’t see the connection.
