How do Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians differ in their views on purgatory and original sin?
Roman Catholics believe in the concept of purgatory, a place where souls are purified before entering heaven. They also believe in the doctrine of original sin, which states that all humans inherit sin from Adam and Eve. On the other hand, Orthodox Christians do not believe in purgatory and have a different understanding of original sin, viewing it more as a tendency towards sin rather than an inherited guilt.

How do roman catholics and Orthodox Christians view purgatory and original sin differently?
Roman Catholics believe in purgatory as a temporary state for souls who have died in grace but still need purification before entering heaven. They view original sin as a condition inherited from Adam and Eve, necessitating baptism for salvation. In contrast, Orthodox Christians do not have a formal doctrine of purgatory; instead, they emphasize a process of theosis and the transformative nature of God's grace. Regarding original sin, they acknowledge the fallen state of humanity but focus more on the consequences of sin rather than a legalistic inheritance that requires baptism for salvation.
