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
This is a Catholic belief, it is called Purgatory.
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
a term used to express the word hell... hell is the opposite of heaven and the said place to go if you die and don't go to heaven. a term used to express the word hell... hell is the opposite of heaven and the said place to go if you die and don't go to heaven.
For Catholics the place is called purgatory. Souls wait there, atone for their wicked ways before entering heaven. Protestants believe in a similar place but it is refered to as Abraham's Bosom. This Bosom is directly opposite of Sheol or Hades as it is sometimes called, divided by a great chasm that cannot be crossed from either way. The Gospels tell of Jesus' desent into hell and retrieving waiting souls from the Bosom before sending them to heaven. Whoever now is in Abraham's Bosom waiting came after Christ's death.

Not as such for the word Hell is a place. However there was a battle between Lucifer (Satan) and his followers with God the father. Lucifer lost the battle and he and his followers were cast out of heaven to a place refered to as Hell or Outer darkness.
