I’m not Roman Catholic, I’m Reformed. I don’t know anyone who believes Christ descended literally to Hell. If he did then he lied to the thief who was saved during his execution. In addition, the punishment he suffered in place of the elect would not have been finished upon his death but rather at his resurrection. Such a position would call into question what exactly Christ meant when he said “it is finished.”

Not really. When He said "it is finished" He was saying the payment for all sin was forever paid and the Old Testament laws made null. That part was finished. When arose from the dead He overcame death.
