The physical place of Purgatory is truly a display of God’s charity towards the soul of a Catholic, who died not fully ready for Heaven [in that the remaining ugly stains and effects of sin have not been satisfactory expiated], and yet was not deserving of Hell [i.e. there was no unconfessed mortal sins on their souls]. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a “purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven,” which is experienced by those “who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified” (CCC 1030). It notes that “this final purification of the elect … is entirely different from the punishment of the damned” (CCC 1031).

A lot of the characters have directly or indirectly been the cause of someone’s death. But most of the time it was for a good cause or by accident. Kate, blowing up her abusive father, The guy in the truck dying because of Hurley, i’m sure Jack indirectly caused his dad’s death, Sawyer killed someone, Echo has killed people, Jin has killed people and his wife knew about it and did knothing, Ana has killed someone…. I forget the rest….. but I know there’s more.

These characters are very complicated and it’s taking time to sort out where they should go. The others are the people trying to figure it out with expiriments to test their soul. When characters die it appears that they have made peace, accepted what they done or are happy.

Explanation of purgatory:

The physical place of Purgatory is truly a display of God’s charity towards the soul of a Catholic, who died not fully ready for Heaven [in that the remaining ugly stains and effects of sin have not been satisfactory expiated], and yet was not deserving of Hell [i.e. there was no unconfessed mortal sins on their souls].

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a “purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven,” which is experienced by those “who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified” (CCC 1030). It notes that “this final purification of the elect … is entirely different from the punishment of the damned” (CCC 1031).

Doesn’t this seem to work?
