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.
