“No, but that is not what 1 Cor 3:6-15 describes.”

Glad we finally agree. 1 Cor 3 does NOT describe Purgatory per CCC1030.

“there inferiorities that are burnt upon entry to Heaven”

Fictional. 1 Cor 3 describes a BUILDING being tested by fire to SHOW what work was done to last and what was done by human strength. It has nothing to do with any inferiority in a person being burnt up. Not interpretation - just what Paul wrote.

” Those exiting Purgatory are sanctified indeed, by one oblation of the Cross, and their sins and iniquities are no more.”

No, because there is no such thing as Christian who has been “imperfectly purified” - Jesus doesn’t make mistakes. Neither does the Father. And the Holy Spirit has testified that what they have done has been done perfectly -

” By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” - Heb 10

“we have been sanctified...once for all...having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time...He has perfected for all time”

What God has perfected for all time is NOT “imperfectly” done!

But it also says that:

So what part here is not Purgatory?

What I can’t fathom, Mr. Rogers, is how someone can read Hebrews and not get that the Levitical priesthood God established was also DISMANTLED by Him through Jesus. No more need for those priests doing their service “day after day” when you have a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek doing his service ONCE FOR ALL.
