Heaven, hell, and purgatory are not stages, but states of being in the afterlife. Heaven is the place of eternal beatitude, blessedness, holiness, and happines. Purgatory is often referred to as the antechamber of heaven, a place of final purification before entering heaven. Those who go to purgatory immediately after death are destined for heaven, but they are not equipped for heaven, since they are still suffering from an attachment to sin. A popular analogy would be this: if you spend your life in a very dark world and are suddenly taken into overwhelming light, you would go blind. It is too much for your eyes. Rev 21:27 states that nothing unclean shall enter heaven. Rather than exclude from heaven those who are in the state of grace but are still attached to sin, God's mercy places you in a dark room where He slowly turns up the light. Purgatory is a place of cleansing from sin and its effects where a person may be healed and made capable of life in heaven. It does involve suffering, in the same way that being exposed to light after darkness might hurt, but it is a hopeful suffering, because it comes with the knowledge that healing is going on and that heaven lies ahead.

Hell is an entirely different state of being and cannot be confused with purgatory. Hell is a state of being experienced by those souls who have rejected God's grace through unrepentant mortal sin. It is the absence of God and His goodness.

Where are the 3 stages of heaven in the bible?

The Mormons believe in three degrees of glory, all three different in glory. The scriptures talk about the glory of the sun, the glory of the moon and the glory of the stars. Each one different in their brightness. This difference in glory refers to the three degrees of glory as spoken of by the Latter Day Saints. First is the Celestial glory(The sun) the home of God. Second is the Terrestrial Glory (The moon) which is of a lesser glory, and third is the Telestial glory (The stars) lesser in glory again. Every living being will at some time after the last resurrection be allotted one of these kingdoms. Very few will ever go with Satan and his angels into outer darkness.
