Answer:
According to Roman Catholicism:
She was a virgin before and after the birth of Christ, for her whole life. She had no other children. People may make reference to The Bible talking about Jesus' "brothers", but in the Bible any male relative can be referred to as a brother.
Another Answer: According to contemporary Evangelicalism:
James was the brother of Jesus. Mary was only a virgin before the birth of Christ. Afterwards, she and Joseph lived as husband and wife.

Do you go to heaven after purgatory?
OpinionYes, when a soul enters purgatory it begins the cleansing process, (removal of sins) so the soul can be purely good and so worthy to be entirely in God's presence (heaven).In other words a soul in heaven is guarenteed a place in heaven.OpinionSome churches believe that Purgatory is a temporary state before you can go to heaven. While some other churches believe that it is a place for those not good enough for heaven, but too good for hell; and once in purgatory you remain there indefinitely.Other churches do not believe there is a purgatory at all; they believe that after death people go directly to heaven or hell depending on how God judges them.
