''In brief:'' Pugatory is a belief that is unique to the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. Other Christian [[denominations ]] reject the concept. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that purgatory is a place or state of punishment or purification that occurs after death for [[Christians ]] before they can enter heaven. It is not [[hell]], because hell is a permanent state - eternal separation from God. Purgatory is only a temporary state, and once purified, the Christian enters [[heaven]].
