As a Protestant I’ve never gotten into the debate over purgatory; and as it appears to be a holding area that Catholics believe in, but isn’t necessarily for their initial salvation; I guess I just go with: Let’s just agree to disagree and focus instead on what unites us, our salvation from Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

However, I do agree that Purgatory does exist via these two links:

The problem is they do not have salvation from Jesus Christ.. they have salvation by works.. including some suffering ... that doctrine negates the cross
