You made a leap of faith from “imprisoned spirits” to their location being in “purgatory”.


If you want to disagree it is fine but that being the case we need to stick to the scripture which we disagree on.

In the first place purgatory is just a name the Catholics call it.

To me it is a state of sleep, Jesus went and awakened those who were asleep and they went with him.

I used the same scripture you quoted, just more of it.

You said that "purgatory is just a name Catholics call it". Call what?

If it is a "state of sleep", they are still effectively dead. Do you mean Hades?

My point is that "purgatory" is a made-up RCC doctrine/teaching/word and not an idea from Jesus or His apostles or the Holy Bible or anywhere other than from Catholic writers. It is not Scriptural or in agreement with Scripture.
