Purgatory is a concept that was developed by the Babylonian Queen Semiramis to control the people, and was adopted by the Catholic church as a means of extracting money from the people. Purgatory is like a part time hell. You are supposedly sent there so the fires can purge you of your sins, so you are worthy to go to heaven. What the Catholic church did was tell the people they could pray for the dead, and donate money to the church to get their loved ones out of purgatory faster. The church still raises a lot of money today with purgatory by selling Mass cards. This whole concept is blasphemous, because it says our Lord's sacrifice on the cross wasn't sufficient. Jesus paid our debt for us, our debt doesn't need to be paid by buying Mass cards.
As for Hell, Hell is the word Sheol, which means grave. At the end, death and Hell will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Purgatory is a myth based on human tradition.
The same is true of the traditional hell.

Only God and Satan know exactly where Hell is. I think its in the center of the earth, because the Bible makes vague references to that. And purgatory is something the Catholics made up, as a kind of waiting area between Heaven and Hell. There are now references to it in the Bible at all.

There is not refrence in The Holy Bible to Purgatory it is made up by the catholic religion. From what you read in the Bible though hell is below heaven. That is all it really says about it.

You go to purgatory to get "sterilized" than you go clean clean clean to haven....you know, if you did too much, stupidy, like this question, you get accumulating dirty. More dirty you get, more bath you need until to get completely clean. Sometimes, the dirty is so havy, and hard to clean, that its necessary the help of an experts, known as demons. Demons, knows exactly how to treat those hards dirty, and because the enjoy so much their work, they tend to be very loyal to it, they never live you alone, they stay by yourside all the time, like a "bro", and because they enjoy so much to have friends, they tend to keep their home very "cozi", with a warm temperature and walls colored on red just to create a seductive atmosphere, they really want to keep people there on their 5 stars SPA, if you like sex....you will love have those guys, demons, bungging you all the way no stop, lovely people!
Now the hell, if you are really fantastic, and you did so much stupidy in the world, and your dirty become impossible to even the most dedicated demon be able to clean and remove it, than you unfortunetly won't go to the purgatory, because their work will be useless one someone so dirty like you, even demonds have their limits. On this case, you won't go to heaven, you go straight to the hell, and there, you stay forever.
Its warm too, if you like summer you will love there, by the way, the boss there is called by the name of Satan, and if you thought you would have fun with the demonds....this because you haven't met Sir Satan!!!
Please to meet you! I hope you know my name.

Hell is where the devil lives & all people that don't
repent for there sins here on Earth & give their lives up to
the Lord go.
Purgatory is just like they said, something the catholics
made up from paganism

It is here, on this earth. Those who see it from a distance and avoid, they escape. And those who are careless and not cautious enough as they tread the path of living, they get trapped into the hell. Better to take lessons from others experience.
