There are references in the Bible to a purification/sanctification process given to those that are saved.

The Catholic position is that this process of transformation takes place in purgatory prior to release into heaven. From the Catholic perspective only those that are saved will enter purgatory. Purgatory is not a state that the damned enter into.

For the sake of discussion in this thread, the Bible is assumed to be true. We are evaluating whether purgatory is: a) consistent with scripture, and b) if consistent, whether it is compellingly the case or not.

And...go!
