If you'd like to know more about it look up Gehenna and you'll see.

Families whose dead relatives were supposedly in Purgatory could then buy indulgences from the Church to "release" their dead relatives so that they may enter heaven. Many think this to be the last straw which saw Martin Luther begin his campaign against the Catholic church - "Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences", known as "The Ninety-five Theses". No.

If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay or straw, the work of each one will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire [itself] will test the quality of each one's work. If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage. But if someone's work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only through fire." (1 Corinthians 3:11-15) There are others, but that is the most common one. If you want to know more, just google it there are tons of websites on purgatory and the Bible. “…for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that there is, namely, Jesus Christ.
