[Dr. Eckleburg]

Chrisy and Scripture speak clearly and often about heaven and hell. Their existence isn't being hidden from us or obscured.

Why would God not clearly tell us of a place like purgatory if it really existed, especially since it contradicts so much of the Bible?

Purgatory is fiction. And its deceitful declaration should tell you how the RCC operates.

Oh?
And for 1500 years not a single, prominent Christian, or any Christian important enough to be recorded, agreed with YOU on this subject.
Why is that?
Several Biblical verses have been provided, on this thread, which clearly indicate the existence of Purgatory.
You simply refuse to be educated on the subject.

Why would God not clearly tell us of a place like purgatory if it really existed, especially since it contradicts so much of the Bible?

For the same reason that there are no verses in the Hebrew Scriptures that clearly state that a Messiah must be sacrificed as a blood sacrifice for the atonement of all mankind, and there aren't any verses in the Hebrew Scriptures that state that the crucified Messiah must be resurrected from the dead?
