1 Cor 3:15

[Mark of the Cross]

[i] [/i]

source vatican website.
[quote]The term does not indicate a place, but a [b]condition of existence.[/b] Those who, after death, exist in a state of purification, are already in the love of Christ who removes from them the remnants of imperfection (cf. Ecumenical Council of Florence, [i]Decretum pro Graecis: [/i]DS 1304; Ecumenical Council of Trent, [i]Decretum de iustificatione:[/i] DS 1580; [i]Decretum de purgatorio: [/i]DS 1820).

It is necessary to explain that the state of purification [b]is not a prolungation [/b](prolongation??)[b] of the earthly condition, almost as if after death one were given another possibility to change one's destiny.[/b]

There is an argument about the thief on the cross where people try to put a different interpretation on the statement "You will be with me in paradise [b]this day[/b]". It was explained to me by a priest that the thief by his remorse for his sins and his pity for Jesus was in a state of purgatory as he suffered crucifixion. His death in Christ was the completion of the process of purgatory. In other words how long does it take for Jesus to purify you when he and you already died for your sins?

Lol. Thanks for that. I did that already. The reason why I was asking is because there was this one specific source I was looking for which Ive seen somebody post before here on Phatmass before. I dont know where to find it. I thought it was a good source because it raised a lot of good questions.
