Yeah. The passage to the saved Jews in the Diaspora, it's about progressive growth in sanctification, subsequent to the initial salvation and justification based on faith in Jesus and His promises alone, the KEY without which the door to sanctification is blocked, as for the messenger of the church at Sardis, for all the Sardinians to know.

I'm glad hat you believe in salvation by faith alone, as these passages affirm.

The passage to the saved Jews in the Diaspora, it's about progressive growth in sanctification, subsequent to the initial salvation and justification based on faith in Jesus and His promises alone,

And in addition, after the lost are simply sent to Hell at death, and the redeemed are sent to Heaven to be with the Lord where they are already positionally seated, (Eph. 2:6) comes the particular judgments after the Lord's coming, which is where the many-versus-lesser stripes judgment takes place, (Lk. 12:41-48) and not at death, which is simply not the Lord's coming. And thus it is not purgatory, regardless of how compelled one is to compel it to support this tradition of men.
