....”If Jesus sends that soul to Purgatory, it is so that the soul can be purified by suffering and penance it did not do while on earth”.....

There’s no such thing as purgatory....they’re cannot be otherwise the work of the cross accomplished nothing at all.

Either Jesus died for us and forgives is of sins, and to grant us eternal life with him by that...or it’s all a lie.

I’ve often wondered how people that believe they are praying someone out of purgatory tells when they’ve finally made it????? Becuase otherwise if they don’t know then they too die without knowing....

What Paul wrote to the chuch at Thessalonika would seem to refute the notion of purgatory ...

1Thess 4: 13 -17

13- But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14- For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15- For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16- For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17- Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Now God Himself shall bring those who have died in Christ WITH JESUS in His returning, to receive new bodies, then we who are alive and remain will be caught up with them that receive new bodies when God BRINGS THEM WITH JESUS from Heaven.
