Purgatory: 1 Cor 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

As I mentioned before, the promises attached to the brown scapular are not taught by the Church.

The passage you posted speaks of the Bema Seat of Christ IN HEAVEN, not in some imagined ‘purgatory’ where additional cleansing supposedly takes place, as if The Blood of Christ was not sufficient to cleanse us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. You have selected the passage which refutes your power structure associated to the little placard indulgence supposedly issue from Mary.

Oh, dear, I confused the promises of the Carmelite scapular with something else, so the privileges of the brown scapular *are* given by the Church, on certain conditions (wearing of the scapular, maintaining chastity according to one’s state, and either praying a certain set of prayers or with permission, substituting another act).
