God is the only judge. We don't say who goes or who doesn't.

Actually the concept of hell was made up in the fourth century. There is no such place. Read your encylopedia or history books. It was made up to make people worship God. The wages of sin is death the bible seys. We just die and thats it!!! Romans 6:23 Psl 146:4 The word hell in Hebrew and greek in which the bible was translated are She ohl and Hades mean GRAVE. We associate the word grave with death, we go there when we die.

Yes, I think if you ask a priest that he will say yes, purgatory for him. I would not say that myself.

about the only way that catholic doctrine will ever suggest that someone is in hell is if that person was formally anathematised (a process the church has hardly done for over three hundred years).
protestants tend to be a lot bigger on hell than the catholics are. this is probably because protestants follow the management down there.

Catholics don´t believe in hell, at least the well informed, they invented that but they admitted is false already.
The Jesuit journal La Civiltà Cattolica observed: "It is misleading . . . to think that God, by means of demons, inflicts fearful torments on the damned like that of fire." It added: "Hell exists, not as a place but as a state, a way of being of the person who suffers the pain of the deprivation of God." Pope John Paul II said in 1999: "Rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy." As to the images of hell as a fiery place, he said: "They show the complete frustration and emptiness of life without God." Had the pope described hell in terms of "flames and a red-suited devil with a pitchfork," church historian Martin Marty said, "people wouldn't take it seriously."
Similar changes are taking place in other denominations. A report by the doctrine commission of the Church of England said: "Hell is not eternal torment, but it is the final and irrevocable choosing of that which is opposed to God so completely and so absolutely that the only end is total non-being."
The catechism of the United States Episcopal Church defines hell as "eternal death in our rejection of God." A growing number of people, says U.S.News & World Report, are promoting the idea that "the end of the wicked is destruction, not eternal suffering. . . . [They] contend that those who ultimately reject God will simply be put out of existence in the 'consuming fire' of hell."

Catholic's don't have the right to decide who goes to hell... only Jesus can judge that.

"According to Catholic doctrine" no one knows who goes to Hell except God. He alone is the judge and He alone can read the hearts of men at the hour of their death.
It's stated very clearly in the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
#1051 - "Every man receives his eternal recompense in his immortal soul from the moment of his death in a particular judgment by Christ, the judge of the living and the dead."
How am I confused? I just gave you a clear answer straight out of the Catechism. Not my opinion. Just fact.
