This is what God says in the Bible:
Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned
There is nothing in the Bible that says we will need to spend time in purgatory in order to atone for our sins. Everything is already done for us through Christ's blood on the cross.
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
Romans 5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
So why, when everything we need to get to heaven is already done for us, are there people that cling to the belief of purgatory?
