Please go ahead now and post tons of evidence from before 100ad that demonstrates anyone believing or teaching this doctrine Claud.

What's the point? We already showed you the references in Sacred Scripture which the Church Fathers said referred to Purgatory and you summarily rejected it. But here's another epitaph for you:

"To my sweetest wife Lucifera who was all sweetness whereas she left her husband the greatest sorrow, and she has deserved that an epitaph should be inscribed to her, to the end that whoever of the brethren shall read it may ask God that her holy and innocent spirit may be received to God."

Left by an anonymous "heretic" grieving husband in the Roman catacombs and dated to the AD 200s.

The church fathers said all kinds of contradictory stuff. Fine. They are human and not inspired nor authoritative. They are just a record of history at the time.

Scripture does not say what was claimed. It isn't close.

Thanks for your other reference at least 100 years after the death of the last apostle.

Does this mean you have nothing before 100 ad?

If you have it, would you please post it?
