    there is no purgatory or limbo. those were places made up by church people centuries ago to answer the questions. where do people go if they are not good enough for Heaven and not bad enough for hell. that is way they said you must pray for people in purgatory and why mass is said for the dead so each prayer can get the one step closer to God. I used to think it was a silly idea because what about all those people in purgatory that no one knows about. (mass for the dead = all souls day) and unbaptised children were supposed to be in limbo because they were not good enough for Heaven. Rubbish. the instant your body dies on earth it is instantly alive in Heaven or hell and hell id not the grave, Luke 16 v 19-31,

    Of course he is in hell, people who commit mortal sins? ... Do not stay in purgatory, but go straight to hell.

    I'm surprised that evangelical Christians do not believe in the existence of a place to wash venial sins and from there to reach eternal glory.

    It's like saying:

    If a person steals, lies, cheats, hits for exceeding the speed limit? .... Not worth paying his guilt in death.

    But..... they are going to have to spend time in jail.

    The same happens with all the souls...., except that God is very merciful and if a person asks forgiveness for their sins before dying? ... God can forgive and raise to his glory.

    What I still wonder? ... if a mortal sin can be forgiven by God? .... There are things that cause much harm to others, knowing that SHOULD NOT to do it..

    As a murderer who steals happiness to a family after killing a son, daughter or parent? ... including rapists ... whoever he is.

    MUST be highly punished.

    Violators can kill a soul, and destroy the hopes of someone ... causing a trauma where people have seen years after overcoming ...It's not fair that they walk there after nothing happened..., without being punished.

    God sees everything and knows everything.

    My simple opinion.

    I'am Catholic. † ♥

    People who have completely turned away from God (in the state of mortal sin) go directly to hell.

    However a true Christian who loves his enemies prays that everyone finds God, even people like Hitler.

    With love in Christ.

    they were punished in bondage to decay that died many times as animal uttermost their sins. look in Bible Romans 8: 19-21. Ecclesiastes 3: 19.
