Purgatory

• What is the catholic belief on purgatory

  Where the soul goes to be cleansed after death - prayers from the living can contribute to help the dead soul to get through purgatory
• What did Karl Rahner believe about purgatory

  Should not be understood as a place of pain but a metaphor for the soul's greater awareness of consequences of sin
• Why do protestants reject views of purgatory?

  Not supported in the Bible and contradicts the idea of salvation - purgatory suggests Jesus did not complete the final act of salvation
