are you as a Catholic aware that the notion of purgatory is not found in the Bible. BUT the Bema Seat of Christ is found in the Bible and takes place IN HEAVEN?
Another interesting theory that is not born out by a careful reading of the Bible.

The Bible does speak of a cleansing fire, which could mean that there is a need for purification. But I do not dwell on it. I put that in God’s hands.
I was not familiar with the term “Bema Seat”, but after reading about it, it’s in line with what I have thought, that Jesus will reward us differently based on how He judges each of us. I have reflected on what Jesus told His disciples in John 14; that His Father’s house has many mansions, that He would go and prepare a place for them, and come back to take them so that they may be where He is. Jesus will also prepare a place for each of us, and the places will be different one from another.
