Actually it’s a place of purification in preparation for heaven.

Through suffering.

[metmom]

Suffering does nothing to purify from sin.

The only thing that cleanses sin is he shedding of blood.

Hebrews 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Once cleansing is done by the blood, there is no further need for purification or cleansing.

Well sure.
