💁🏻 Concept: Purgatory

Purgatory is a temporary state for souls who die in God’s grace but still need purification from venial sins or temporal punishment. These souls have assured salvation and will enter heaven once fully cleansed. It is not a second chance for the damned, but the final stage in the journey to glory. The living can assist these souls through prayers, Masses, and indulgences, helping hasten their purification and entry into the eternal joy of God’s presence.
