“Exactly, which is why there’s no point in praying for the dead.”
Once again we apparently see how anti-Catholicism makes a person unable to think logically. Whether or not YOU believe Purgatory exists is immaterial. People, before and after, the time of Jesus’ time on Earth believed that Purgatory, even if they did not use that name, existed.
“Hebrews 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,”
Once again we see that the anti-Catholic apparently doesn’t know the very doctrine she is supposedly attacking. Purgatory does not in any way impede judgment. Purgatory, in fact, is only for those who were ALREADY JUDGED and who will enter Heaven but need grace for cleansing. The very existence of Purgatory is COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THE EXISTENCE OF JUDGMENT.
“Time wasted praying for the dead would be better spent praying for the living, that they get saved BEFORE they die.”
Those who go to Purgatory were in a state of grace when they died.
“Then nobody has to worry about them after they die.”
It’s not a matter of worry. It’s a matter of love and desire. We want our loved ones to have the best and we want them to have it as soon as possible. Hence, we pray for them.
