The Catholic Church is the most scriptural, obedient, holy, historical, unified, and beautiful Church— of course it is, it was started by Christ Himself.

You can say that to your last breath - and it will NEVER make it so. Some just learn the hard way, so be it.

He guides it through the Holy Spirit to this day.

God's Word is Holy Spirit inspired. He doesn't NOT go against Who He is. He is not part of the RCC man made doctrines or the RCC's deliberate twisting of Scripture. To say HE guides that deception is saying the Holy Spirit is deceptive and that's not wise. Check on what the 'unpardonable sin' is. Catholics are really digging themselves an eternal hole and have no one to blame but themselves.

I’ve given you Scriptural passages that make the case for Purgatory, including one from Christ’s own mouth. It’s no lie.

The Vatican's interpretation is deceptive. Along with their heresy teaching of Mary as co-redeemer. If you would use some wisdom you might be able to see the deception.

From the beginning satan wanted to be like God and could never be. So if he couldn't, he deceives to make 'man' as a co-redeemer - a man aligned to the status of God. Anyone who believes that does NOT know God. They only know 'of HIM'. Satan deceives with purgatory with 'Jesus isn't enough' with one must still pay a penalty. So you see, anything to make Jesus less of who He really is. And no one can say that's not true by confessing that Jesus is this or that to them means NOTHING - because anyone with that belief - He has a co-redeemer or one must pay a penalty to finish the work of salvation - DOES NOT KNOW HIM!

they continue to work to be worthy of it every day.

Buy a clue - No one will EVER be worthy! What kind of PRIDE is that? WOW! Leave it to satan to lead some into thinking they can be worthy of something that they can never attain - he uses deception because, obviously, it works. No one will ever be worthy - that's why it is a GIFT because we CANNOT - we are UNABLE to - earn it.

The premise of faith alone does not hold up. Christ’s own words deny the concept.

Excuse me, who said anything about faith alone? Show me where I said that? GRACE! GRACE! GRACE! And we accept the GIFT of salvation by GRACE through Faith. Something Catholics are clueless about - 'a Gift' given by grace.

The next time you buy someone a GIFT - make sure you have the recipient pay for it in some way. After all, you must live by your Catholic beliefs. They may say - keep your gift since it shows not a giving heart. And that's what Catholics have aligned themselves with. That kind of giving - has the fingerprints of satan on it. And that kind of heart doesn't describe the All Loving God, who so loved the world...

Enjoy the fire you think is so beautiful.

I guess one must resort to nastiness when the facts are not on one’s side.

Perhaps the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit is turning one’s back on the Church the Spirit is guiding and living in. Or knowing the truth about the Eucharist but choosing not to be Catholic for some other trivial or selfish reason. The Spirit is Truth. To knowingly walk away from Truth would be unpardonable; that’s what Satan did.
