Purgatory

Since the ancient times, the Church has had extensive faith in the immortality of the soul and rebirth of the dead. The souls that deserve to go to paradise first have to pass through the purgatory in order to properly purify for their life in heaven. Specifically the people that have befriended god and have died in god’s good grace, but are imperfectly purified are required to pass through the purgatory. Purgatory is a painful yet necessary condition of purification.
