Why don't Protestants believe in purgatory and what is their theological reasoning behind this belief?
Protestants do not believe in purgatory because they interpret the Bible differently from Catholics. Protestants believe that when a person dies, they go directly to heaven or hell based on their faith in Jesus Christ. They do not see any biblical evidence for a temporary place like purgatory where souls are purified before entering heaven. Protestants emphasize the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of sins, and they believe that believers are made righteous through faith in Jesus alone, without the need for purification in purgatory.

Why do Baptist dislike Catholics?
Fear. Baptists, as I recall, are wary of ritualistic services. Many conservative baptists do not like the use of icons in the church. They also believe very strongly in the priesthood of the believer, meaning that a believer should be able to approach God through prayer without an intercessory like a priest. That the confession of sin could and should be directly to God and forgiveness sought from man. The elevation of Mary as an intercessory is also frowned upon.
Do Catholics still believe that faith and good works are eternal salvation?
Yes, Catholics still follow the teachings of Christ that salvation is obtained by faith coupled with good works. As St. James said, "Faith without good works is dead." Also, read Matthew chapter 25.
