“Peter you are Rock, and upon this Rock I will build my Church”
Peter believed in Purgatory.
Peter and the early Church had no problem with the Deuterocanonical texts, which supported purgatory.

“Peter you are Rock, and upon this Rock I will build my Church”

Matt. 16:18

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter (petros - proper masculine noun; a rock or stone detached, large fragment), and upon this rock (petra - femine noun - a large rock, cliff, ledge, massive living rock) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

JESUS was the Rock, not Peter. He was a pebble, a shepherd for the flock. There IS no indication in Scripture that Peter was Pope.
