The concept of purgatory varies among different religious traditions, particularly within Catholicism, which teaches that it is a temporary state for souls undergoing purification before entering heaven. The duration of time spent in purgatory is not specified and is believed to depend on the individual’s sins and the effectiveness of prayers and Masses offered for them by the living. Ultimately, the length of stay is considered a mystery known only to God.
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.
No, because purgatory doesn't exist
Christian view: for all eternity if you believe in Jesus Christ Muslims view: The second life after death and after the Day of Hudgement is eternal life. If you worshiped God as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence, then you will be accepted by God mercy in the Heaven (God paradise) where you live for eternity.
Among groups who believe that the body will physically reside in purgatory, the soul is presumed to stay with the body. Many Christian sects believe that the soul suffers in purgatory, while the body remains interred (or whatever) until resurrection.
