I cannot imagine a single Catholic saying that. Do you have a link? First, purgatory is a transitional place en route to Heaven, so no Catholic would phrase it like you did; he would say "assured a place in Heaven". Second, it is manifestly not the Catholic teaching. Why have confessions then? The idea that a single act, -- be it baptism or profession of faith, -- once and for all can assure salvation is contrary to Catholicism.
You really think Jesus would send Christians to hell?
Well, Christians send themselves to hell if they refuse to love God. Yes, it is entirely possible for a Catholic man to end up in hell. In fact, any Catholic who left the Church for one Protestant cult or another is already one foot in hell.

Gee Alex; you've just condemned someone to hell... or the RCC has!

*Catholic* does not by default mean *Christian* nor does *Christian* by default mean *Catholic*.
The two terms are not synonymous. The term *Catholic* is not found in Scripture whereas *Christian* is.
