I would really, Really, REALLY like to see where Christ tells of Purgatory. Perhaps even the concept thereof, if not the word.

Show me.

And St. Gregory the Great concurs with St. Augustine's testimony about Matthew's gospel. "Each one will be presented to the Judge exactly as he was when he departed this life. Yet, there must be a cleansing fire before judgement,because of some minor faults that may remain to be purged away. Does not Christ,the Truth,say that if anyone blasphemes against the Holy Spirit he shall not be forgiven 'either in this world or in the world to come'(Mt. 12:32)? From this statement we learn that some sins can be forgiven in this world and some in the world to come. For, if forgiveness is refused for a particular sin, we conclude logically that it is granted for others. This must apply, as I said, to slight transgressions." Gregory the Great[regn. A.D. 590-604],Dialogues,4:39(A.D. 594),in FC,39:248

Start in Jeremiah and read through to James. Maybe you'll get a clue.
