No, I am not saying that at all.

I AM saying that the idea of purgatory denigrates, diminishes Jesus. It puts forth that He is not sufficient to get you to Heaven, that you MUST have prayers of men to finish the deal.

Define elect.

No one believes you “must” have prayers from others in order to “finish the deal” while in Purgatory.

You might be better served studying Catholicism rather than pontificating about it.

Do you believe that your prayers for someone’s conversion are a “must”? Does God decide to save someone based on your actions?

I would think not.

Your prayers are not a “must” and do not denigrate Jesus.

Neither do mine.
