In Purgatory,no one saints may meet the souls.It is a place for purification.People who go there had a small amount of sins they committed on earth.They are mostly venial sins and their mortal sins are already absolve during confession.On the other hand,Saints are already in heaven. Venial sins are the minor infractions against God or any of his creatures. Mortal sins are the complete turning away from God, centering only on self with no boundries. Any sin properly confessed with the completion of act(s) of repentance and the true intent to "sin no more" (not do it again) are absolved, and are no longer of consequence. Unrepented mortal sins send the soul to h---, minor unrepented sins send the soul to a place not yet in "full communion with God", hence the "prayers for the dead." So you may have to spend time in the waiting room before you get into the big party, but St. Peter' and Michael the ArcheAngel is still supervising.

What is the origin of the first pope being Saint Peter and the last pope being Saint Peter?
The origin of Peter being thought of as the first Pope isn't Biblical. There may be some pagan influence particularly from the Roman god, Janus, who was the guardian of the gates and the doors to heaven and also used the emblem of the crossed keys which are now associated with the papacy. This pagan influence was then probably linked in with Matthew 16:19.
