[Codie]

Let's face it, Luther thought justification was not a real cleansing - it was just that
the merits of Christ, like a white cloak, would be thrown over the sins of
the sinner. God would not look under the rug. But the man himself would
remain totally corrupt.So,there must be some purification after death,no?

Codie what if the blood of Christ really does clean you? IF that is true and you stand before Gods in your own works do you think it can compare?

1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Hbr 1:3 Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hbr 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
