In your criteria for gaining heavenly admittance, you may wish to consider:
John 6:52, "If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world." and
John 6:55, "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day."
And as to the passages from John, I wholeheartedly embrace them, and depend on their truth moment by moment. All Christians do.

Could you please give me the biblical reference where "purgatory" is defined?
Thank You.
