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.
