“you refuse to acknowledge the verses who speak of each man being purified by fire yet saved.”

Those verses do not exist.

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

“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.”

“but still imperfectly purified”

Christ’s blood failed. It left us imperfectly purified, so our own suffering and torment needs to cleanse us - according to the Catholic Church. Christ failed, but man will earn a spot in heaven. Catholic theology, not mine.

Jesus washed the disciples feet with water in the Upper Room. He didn’t use fire.

Annalex: the verses who speak of each man being purified by fire yet saved.

Mr Rogers: Those verses do not exist.

you are God' s building. [...] If any man' s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man' s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. (1 Cor. 3:9, 14-15)

It left us imperfectly purified

The work of Christ continues in Purgatory.
