“I am Catholic. I don’t “interpret”. That is what Protestant charlatans do. You just did. You turn the focus from purgation by burning to admonition to build carefully.”

You not only interpret, you completely explain away the obvious meaning and substitute another. Indeed, this IS my interpretation - if a direct quote is an interpretation:

“Let each one take care how he builds upon it.” - 1 Cor 3.10 - an “admonition to build carefully”.

“Enough already with this canard.”

III. THE FINAL PURIFICATION, OR PURGATORY

1030 All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.

“All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified” - Catechism of the Catholic Church 1030. Heresy. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit by rejecting the Spirit’s testimony of what Christ did. God will damn those who wrote CCC1030.

Your quote is fine by itself but the fallacy is interpretation by omission: you refuse to acknowledge the verses who speak of each man being purified by fire yet saved. In other words there is a description of purgatory in front of you so you quote the preceding verses as if they negate the description.

1030 [...] after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.

So where is the Catechism disputing that the final purification occurs solely on the supernatural merits of Christ by Whose blood we are saved?

The "only partially cleansed by the blood of the Lamb" is indeed a canard not found in the Catechism nor any other Catholic source.
