  1. Purgatory Roman Catholics believe in a middle place between Heaven and Hell called Purgatory. In purgatory you pay for your sins. This means that Roman Catholics will sometimes pray for dead people to help them to get into heaven.

  2. Purgatory (Roman Catholic)

  3. According to Catholic doctrine, some souls are not sufficiently free from the temporal effects of sin and its consequences to enter the state of heaven immediately, nor are they so sinful as to be destined for hell either. • Such souls, ultimately destined to be united with God in heaven, must first endure purgatory— a state of purification. In purgatory, souls "achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.

  4. Temporal punishment and eternal punishment are incurred by mortal sin, but eternal punishment is remitted by the sacrament of reconciliation (known also as the sacrament of penance or confession). • The remaining temporal punishment may be remitted by sufferings in this life, indulgences, or time after death in Purgatory.
