Purgatory

Purgatory is the Catholic concept of an intermediate state where souls are purified before entering heaven—neither hell's finality nor heaven's perfection. Whether understood literally or metaphorically, it embodies the insight that most people end their lives morally unfinished, and that transformation toward wholeness is a process that may extend beyond death itself.
