Catholicism teaches that after death, some people are sent to a place called purgatory for further purification before entering heaven:

“All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to
achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. ” Pg. 2658,
#1030

 

Did this critical doctrine come from God, or is it another tradition of men? Here’ s your answer, right out of the Catechism:
 

“The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of
Florence and Trent.” Pg. 268-269, #1031 

 Would an honest, loving God offer you eternal life as a free gift - then make you suffer to earn it - then lie about it in His Word?  

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God:” Ephesians 2:8

If the Bible is so clear on this subject, why did the Catholic church institute a doctrine that has persuaded faithful members to give multiplied millions of dollars to the church to have
prayers and Masses said on behalf of departed loved ones? You must answer that
for yourself.

 

Now, at least you know that the doctrine of purgatory was hatched from the minds of mortal men
