I looked for the concept of purgatory from people who might know. You know, guys like Matthew Luke or John. Or that Paul guy. Didn’t find anything.

Yep. It’s not like Christ said “it’s almost finished.” on the Cross. He said “it is finished” (when translated to English, should go without saying).

If we could have paid for our sins, even a tiny bit, then we could have paid for them all.

Christ didn’t go to the cross to save us from a lot of that condemnation. In Christ there is no condemnation. And no reason for us to go through purgatory.

But really lost rewards because we in this life may have frittered away our chances to obey the Holy Spirit when He prompts us or because we “worked” in our own strength aping the fruits of the Spirit and producing “works” of stubble, hay etc that will be lost ... that is more than enough dealing with worldliness from the redeemed.
