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.
Catholicism is the major religion that believes in the concept of purgatory, a place where souls are purified before entering heaven. Some branches of Eastern Orthodox Christianity also hold beliefs similar to purgatory.
In Catholic belief, purgatory is a temporary state after death where souls undergo purification before entering heaven. It is said to be for those who die in a state of grace but are not yet fully purified of their sins. Other Christian denominations may have different beliefs about the nature of the afterlife.
Purgatory is not so much a place as a state. Purgatory is the state of being purified to enter heaven. Nothing imperfect can enter heaven, so everyone who is saved and going to heaven must be perfect. Very few people die in a state of perfection, most of us will die with venial sin and the effects of forgiven mortal sin still on our soul. If you die in a state of mortal sin, then your only destination is Hades . If you die in a state of grace, then your destination is heaven, but God provides the state of purgatory, where one is "purged" of the effects of sin so that one becomes perfect and can enter the presence of God without being annihilated. As soon as all the effects and detritus of sin is gone and you are perfect, you leave purgatory and enter heaven.
No we do not believe in purgatory, but we do believe in hell. We believe that when a person dies they remain in a temporary sleep until the second coming of Jesus. Heaven and Hell comes after the eternal judgment at the end of time
Although the exact duration is not given, it was a matter of months - not more.
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.
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.
