In purgatory we are purified from sin's effects.
purgatory
I can't imagine going through purgatory after death. -OR- Purgatory is where people from a certain religion go through after death where they can clean themselfs from their sins or impurities, there they decide wether to go to hevan or hell. <---- That's kind of the religious definition but it still is a sentence.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Purgatory is a place of temporary punishment for those who have committed minor, or venial, sins. In the Church teaching, it is of course bad, because the intention is that you do suffer. Protestants do not accept the existence of Purgatory.
the payment is a life of hell until your sins are replenished and you are pure, nobody is pure to begin anyway
In Catholic theology Purgatory is a place that a Christian’s soul goes to after death to be cleansed of the sins that had not been fully satisfied during life. Other religions do not believe in this.
Purgatory is a Catholic non-biblical based belief in a plane between heaven and hell were one's soul will amend for any sins during it's lifetime.
Indulgences are not forgiveness for future sins. They are a lessening of punishment in Purgatory for sins already forgiven. Indulgences are gained by certain spiritual and corporal works of devotion but paying for indulgences ended with the Council of Trent.

you must go through a step called purgatory. this means that somebody has to pray for you to get out. because you're in purgatory, you're guaranteed to travel to heaven. you'll never know for how long though. this is where your sins will be released from your soul.
Dante believes that prayers for the dead can help them in Purgatory because he views prayer as a form of intercession that can alleviate a soul's suffering and expedite its journey towards salvation. In Dante's theology, the power of prayer can counterbalance the weight of a soul's sins and facilitate its purification in Purgatory.
" purgatory " was a place where souls went to make up for their sins before they went to heaven
To stay out of purgatory, Catholics paid an "indulgence". Indulgences reduced time in Purgatory for sins that are already forgiven, they didn't necessarily keep you completely out of Purgatory. Also, the giving of money [meant as alms for the poor, but at one point was taken by the clergy (even then it wasn't an approved practice and was considered Simony)] to receive an Indulgence was stopped by Pope Pius V in 1567.
