"Where is purgatory explained in the Bible?"

It is not explained in the Bible, but, like the Trinity and Transubstantiation, it satisfies certain conundrums presented by Scripture.

Purgatory is not a place or a time, it is a process in which the final purification is accomplished because nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27). Every Evangelical or Protestant who professes to be cleansed by the Blood of Jesus acknowledges the purgation of their sins.

Peace be with you.
