Catechism of the Catholic Church: THE FINAL PURIFICATION, OR PURGATORY

1030 All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death

they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.

1031 The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the

damned (Council of Florence (1439):DS 1304; Council of Trent (1563):DS 1820; (1547):1580; see also Benedict XII, Benedictus Deus

(1336):DS 1000). The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition

of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire: (1 Cor 3:15; 1 Pet 1:7)

As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, before the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He Who is truth says that whoever

utters blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this age nor in the age to come. From this sentence we understand

that certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come. (Pope St. Gregory the Great, Dial. 4,39:PL 77,396;

cf. Mt 12:31)

1032 This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: "Therefore [Judas

Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin." (2 Macc 12:46)

From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic

sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God. (Cf. Council of Lyons II (1274):DS 856) The Church also

commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead:

Let us help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for

the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them. (St. John

Chrysostom, Hom. in 1 Cor. 41,5:PG 61,361; cf. Job 1:5.)
