And again, what you describe in purgatory is not Grace.

When I was a Catholic, I remember there was allegedly a place called Limbo. I don't remember what qualified anyone to go there, but was it willed out of existence? What happened to all those who were in Limbo, if it was decided the place no longer existed?

Anyway, I don't believe in Purgatory. I don't do sacraments. I don't do good works to get saved, or stay saved. I do good works BECAUSE I am saved. I don't pray to the holy saints (necromancy) and besides that, how does anyone even know for sure these "saints" are even in Heaven? Many of them might be in Hell. I don't believe Mary was sinless. I believe she gave birth to a ton of kids, New Testament writers James and Jude being two of them. There might be other things I don't do. These are just some of them. Does that make me a basher? 😀😂😂😎😆

.
Limbo is Caribbean catholic Santeria.

It is where someone whose spirit has been stolen must dwell until their spirit is recovered.

Just more paganism.

Mark, did you ever believe, as a Catholic, that you would be paying for the sins you didn’t get absolved by the church, by spending time in Purgatory?

It wasn’t very popular to say that unbaptized babies didn’t go to heaven or never even had the chance to, so limbo has been essentially dropped.
