Of course; this is well known. The only defined dogmata concerning purgatory are (a) it exists; (b) it is the state or place wherein the elect receive their final sanctification prior to entering the Beatific Vision; (c) the poor souls there are helped by the prayers of the faithful on earth.

Any further definition would be unacceptable to the East, which is why Florence studiously avoided it.

Any chance it's part of the doctrines of demons?
