Purgetory is a transformation of your spirit from its current state into a state suitable for heaven.
In catholic belief ONLY believers go through purgetory. All believers go to heaven.
They DO NOT believe that people who regected God goto Purgetory (dont say they do because you will look stupid)
Evangelicals believe this to some degree. They believe that when you die you are changed, this change I guess in instant and then you are in heaven.
the only differing opinion is on how long it takes, and of course Catholics will not commit to it.
There are numberous texts in the protestant bible that talk about purgetory, refiners fire, purified through fire etc etc
Also believing or not believing is this transformation (well more how long it would take) doesnt change your salvation.
To catholics - How can anyone define a time in Purgetory as Time is a human and not a spiritual concept.
