The existence of purgatory is and always has been to define a doctrine of the Catholic Church.   This is not the case with the concept of limbo, which was never formally defined the doctrine of the Church.   The idea of Limbo - a spiritual state of unbaptized babies and toddlers who die - was presented by some theologians for many centuries.   The Church never officially approved the teaching, although it is said to be good for Catholics to believe in him if they so wish.   Recently, however, the Church issued an announcement saying that the limbo does not exist. The media sometimes misconstrued as a "change in education," but it did not.   Prior to this proclamation, the Church has never had a formal education in Limbo - therefore, a "change in education" in this issue was impossible.

Most people would say no.   Will it be perfect in heaven? Most people believe so.   Purgatory (or purgation) is the process of God's love changing our imperfect beings themselves perfect. Depending on the amount of change required by different people can be a little easier or process.   Everyone in purgatory is on its way to heaven. I do not think Mother Teresa of Calcutta had a very hard time of it.   With love in Christ. Yes, the Catholic Church still believes in the purgation.

If there is no purgatory, he would have to be perfect when you check out. " Otherwise, just another place to go.   Protestants have trouble with the idea of purgatory. If we consider what is purgatory, and why it seems crazy why so many Protestants are so willing to deny their existence.   I feel that since 2Maccabees was removed from the Protestant Bible, purgatory has no biblical basis. It is a fact that the Bible is sprinkled throughout (mostly the New Testament), with the biblical evidence for purgatory. Yes Purgatory is a blessing.
