In Malachite, where it talks about the refiner's fire. The man is going through the fire being purified. That he is being saved. So powerful a belief in the early church was this teaching that the fathers speak loud and clear about purgation in the afterlife.

He must, as Clement tells us in the pre-nice scene era, undergo purging purification.
