Mark, did you ever believe, as a Catholic, that you would be paying for the sins you didn’t get absolved by the church, by spending time in Purgatory?

Well, first of all, when there is a false doctrine, like Purgatory, each priest might give a slightly different version, but essentially, I believe that is about what we were told by the priests. Now me personally? I didn't really think Purgatory would apply to me, only other people, simply because I was a VERY sinful catholic, and I thought I would go straight to Hell at death, not Purgatory. I think Heaven will be filled with horrible sinners. Sinners who were so awful, they realized it, and fled to the Savior for forgiveness. Make sense?

Yes, Brother, it is the essence of The Gospel Good News. So of course it makes sense.
