Best Answer

It means when a soul dies and has not had the last rites they slip into purgatory which is neither hell nor heaven. Purgatory can be looked on as a temporary hell where a soul suffers for its unforgiven sins and then goes on to heaven. It's a Roman Catholic concept.
Its a place where you go after you die if you are not worthy to get into Heaven yet, but not bad enough to go to hell
