Are you saying you can get into Heaven by the merit of your own actions

of course not, God sends me to purgatory (you too) to cleanse us of any wrongdoings that remain on our souls at death.

I suppose that it does no harm for Catholics to believe they’re in purgatory when they’re in hell.

I wouldn’t want to think that I’d be in hell forever, and it would be some consolation to think that some day the suffering is going to end.

They’ll need it to keep their sanity.

And they’re going to have an AWFULLY LOOONNNNNNGGGGG wait........

It’s too bad that they don’t realize that the blood of Jesus really is adequate to cover ALL their sin.

Doesn't Last Rites take care of that little problem?

There is no such place as purgatory. True believers are totally cleansed by the blood of Christ.
