If you think this garbage is interesting I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, kid.
Ask the genius who wrote this nonsense where in Scripture one will find the words Bible, Trinity and Incarnation.
Eh, maybe. If they are elect, it doesn’t matter what they believe. They are elect. If they are not elect, it also doesn’t matter what they believe. They are not elect.
So in short, belief or non-belief in Purgatory has zero effect on electedness and ergo in salvation.
Some Catholic reading on the subject.

One thing is for sure - it’s been a money maker here on the earth’s surface.
IF a person is not a true Christian, and rejects the Grace of God without works of the Law, then that person's FINAL FATE is SEALED at the moment of death: Hell.
That is exactly what the Bible teaches. Anything that adds to or removed from these truths in the Bible alone does not teach what Christ Jesus and God the Father desires for us to learn regarding Heaven and Hell and Grace salvation.
Christ Jesus and His blood alone paid in full for my sins and all true Christians. Any one who places someone in-between to forgive our sins or attempt to deliver us to heaven is false doctrine.
Corrupters of families will not inherit the kingdom of God. And if they who do these things according to the flesh suffer death. how much more if a man corrupt by evil reaching the faith of God. for the sake of which Jesus Christ was crucified? A man become so foul will depart into unquenchable fire: and so will anyone who listens to him. (Ignatius of Antioch (110AD)=Letter to the Ephesians 16:1-2) If we do the will of Christ, we shall obtain rest; but if not, if we neglect his commandments, nothing will rescue us from eternal punishment (“Second Clement” 5:5) But when they see how those who have sinned and who have denied Jesus by their words or by their deeds are punished with terrible torture in unquenchable fire, the righteous, who have done good, and who have endured tortures and have hated the luxuries of life, will give glory to their God saying, 'There shall be hope for him that has served God with all his heart!' (“Second Clement” 17:7) - Clement of Rome (150AD) Fixing their minds on the grace of Christ, [the martyrs] despised worldly tortures and purchased eternal life with but a single hour. To them, the fire of their cruel torturers was cold. They kept before their eyes their escape from the eternal and unquenchable fire (“Martyrdom of Polycarp” 2:3) “The Martyrdom of Polycarp” (155AD) We who are now easily susceptible to death, will afterwards receive immortality with either enjoyment or with pain. Tatian (160AD) We are persuaded that when we are removed from the present life we will live another life, better than the present one...or, if they fall with the rest, they will endure a worse life, one in fire. For God has not made us as sheep or beasts of burden, who are mere by-products. For animals perish and are annihilated. On these grounds, it is not likely that we would wish to do evil. (“Apology”)- Athenagoras of Athens (175AD) ...Christ Jesus, our Lord, and God, and Saviour, and King, according to the will of the invisible Father, 'every knee should bow, of things in heaven,, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess' to Him, and that He should execute just judgment towards all; that He may send 'spiritual wickednesses,' and the angels who transgressed and became apostates, together with the ungodly, and unrighteous, and wicked, and profane among men, into everlasting fire; but may, in the exercise of His grace, confer immortality on the righteous, and holy, and those who have kept His commandments, and have persevered in His love, some from the beginning of their Christian course, and others from the date of their repentance, and may surround them with everlasting glory. (“Against Heresies” 1:10:10) The penalty increases for those who do not believe the Word of God and despise his coming. . . . [I]t is not merely temporal, but eternal. To whomsoever the Lord shall say, ‘Depart from me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire,’ they will be damned forever (“Against Heresies” 4:28:2) - Irenaeus (189AD) All souls are immortal, even those of the wicked. Yet, it would be better for them if they were not deathless. For they are punished with the endless vengeance of quenchless fire. Since they do not die, it is impossible for them to have an end put to their misery. (from a post-Nicene manuscript fragment) - Clement of Alexandria (195AD) These have further set before us the proofs He has given of His majesty in judgments by floods and fires, the rules appointed by Him for securing His favor, as well as the retribution in store for the ignoring, forsaking and keeping them, as being about at the end of all to adjudge His worshippers to everlasting life, and the wicked to the doom of fire at once without ending and without break, raising up again all the dead from the beginning, reforming and renewing them with the object of awarding either recompense. (“Apology” 18:3) Then will the entire race of men be restored to receive its just deserts according to what it has merited in this period of good and evil, and thereafter to have these paid out in an immeasurable and unending eternity. Then there will be neither death again nor resurrection again, but we shall be always the same as we are now, without changing. The worshipers of God shall always be with God, clothed in the proper substance of eternity. But the godless and those who have not turned wholly to God will be punished in fire equally unending, and they shall have from the very nature of this fire, divine as it were, a supply of incorruptibility (“Apology” 44:12–13) Therefore after this there is neither death nor repeated resurrections, but we shall be the same that we are now, and still unchanged--the servants of God, ever with God, clothed upon with the proper substance of eternity; but the profane, and all who are not true worshippers of God, in like manner shall be consigned to the punishment of everlasting fire--that fire which, from its very nature indeed, directly ministers to their incorruptibility. ("Apology" 48:12) - Tertullian (197AD)
The way of darkness is crooked, and it is full of cursing. It is the way of eternal death with punishment. (“Epistle of Barnabas”)
And so much more. Purgatory is just another excellent example where the Catholic Church deliberately changed the doctrine of the early church to make money and keep souls captive. What surprises me is how many people can be so inconsistent in what they believe simply because the "Church" states it.
