Purgatory, by default, says that the blood of Jesus is not enough to forgive and cleanse us from sin.

What blasphemy.

Well, you could avoid Purgatory by doing works of supererogation in this life that would earn the title of Saint from the Magisterium, and thus enter Heaven directly without a waiting period. Eh?

You are picking a fight with a strawman argument.
Jesus is emphatic in telling us that those who persevere will inherit the Kingdom of God. As does St. Paul.
Neither never says, Once saved, always saved.
People can, and do, sin even after Baptism.
And, no one who is unclean from sin can enter into the Kingdom.
If you die with sin staining your soul, in your view you are doomed. And most people DO die with sin staining their soul.
Please don’t judge people so harshly. Peace

So everybody goes to Heaven and Hell is empty.

What blasphemy.
