First, understand that When we die, we undergo our individual judgment. Scripture says that "it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment" (Heb. 9:27). We are judged instantly and receive our reward, for good or ill, Heaven or Hell. There is no second chance after that.
Now, Purgatory is ONLY FOR THE SAVED. It is NOT a second chance, and it is NOT a third place. If I were to make an analogy; Imagine two houses across the street from each other. One house is Heaven, and one house is Hell. Now, imagine that on the front porch of the Heaven house there is a shower, because nothing unclean can enter the Heaven house. Well that porch and that shower is Purgatory. As the Bible says, "nothing unclean shall enter [heaven]" (Rev. 21:27).
