No such place as purgatory, Catholicism
Purgatory is not a place, it is a process. Being washed in the Blood of the Lamb, thus purged of sin.

Sorry, if you're not saved before you die it's too late, no being purged of sin after death. And no reincarnation either. If so, show me where it is in the Bible that you can reincarnate or be purged of sin after death. Read Hebrews 9:27.

So it's safe to assume that everyone alive is a sinner. Has the stain of sin upon their soul. Some more so than others, but still...Right?
I understand that a Protestant view is "once saved, always saved". OK, but the problem is after you are saved you can and do still sin. But you cannot take your sin to heaven, you have to dump that wretched baggage and be cleaned off. This is purgation. Washed in the Blood of Christ. It may be instantaneous if our repentance is perfect and our heart contrite, or it may take awhile if we were very bad and not ready to let go.
But what is "a while" in eternity where there is no time?

But no one can pray you into heaven once you are deceased.

Right, only Jesus can escort you to the Father.
Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father but through me."

Parky's in very good shape I think. But we all benefit from each other's prayers. I will pray for all of us tonight. Please pray for me as well.
Everyone gets to know Jesus! When he died for all sinners he went to Sheol to deliver the news! No one left out! Read the Bible sometime
