I love all the responses to questions like this where people will go on and on about EXACTLY how heaven and hell and purgatory and all kinds of afterlife stuff works! Is it from experience or what?

You must remeber that Purgatory is ONLY FOR THE SAVED. It is NOT a second chance, and it is NOT a third place. You could say it is the "doormat" in front of heaven's door where you have to wipe your feet before you go in. (Poor analogy, but you get the point.)
The Catechism states:
CCC 1030 - All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
CCC 1031 - The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire: Cf. 1 Cor 3:15; 1 Pet 1:7.

If you're religious it's true.
From my viewpoint, a zero or a fifty still gets you the same thing. A return to the Earth which built and nourished your body. Nothing more. Nothing less.

no, not really, cause in the Judeo-Christian world you either believe and are saved or you go to Purgatory(Hell). But in faiths that do not believe in Heaven or Hell it does not matter about the analogy cause the places do not exist ok.

From my own understanding the test is a single true or false question. You either pass or fail.
God is the judge and His judgement is totally righteous. If He incorporates any other consideration it is His right as God.

Purgatory isn't real (not found in the bible) And there is one one question considered for your being cast into hell. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH JESUS? Did you accept him or reject?

No. We have all failed because of our sin. What gets you into heaven is the acceptance of Christ into your life and asking for the forgiveness of your sins.

What school do you go to where you pass with 50%?!?!?!?
Edit:
Zero Cool, in the CHRISTIAN WORLD you need to be "saved". Jews do not have this "saved" thing you talk about, so don't lump us in with that, ok?
