And you still did not answer the questions regarding buying your way out of the judgment and purgatory time. Ever learning never coming to a saving Grace.

The question is, how many times do the fallacious nature and hasty generalizations of various purported proofs for RC Purgatory have to be exposed?

Most anything is grasped at, from texts which refer to the lost or to this life, to 1 Cor. 3 which, among other things, awaits the return of Christ, to prayers for lost idolators, to Jewish salvation by works fantasies that await the last judgment day, etc. None of which teach purifying punishments commencing at death in order to atone for sins and become good enough to enter Heaven.

Yet the real basis for the veracity of Catholic doctrines is not any weight of purported textual supports, but that of the novel and unScriptural premise of ensured perpetual magisterial veracity. Meaning that since Rome says something is truth then it cannot be false. And therefore the faithful must contend for it, no matter how many times they are refuted, and their intellectual dishonest exposed.

And while all of this is done in service to Rome, such compelled specious defenses of her distinctive Catholic teachings that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed are actually a negative argument for being a RC. Cults do likewise.

And those posters who continually evidence they are compelled to do so after being refuted time and again do warrant being ignored.
