Meaning Of 'Perfected' In Hebrews
- 'Perfected' in Hebrews 10:14 need not mean moral perfection at once.
- Interpreting it that way conflicts with other scripture and creates double standards in Protestant objections.
How To Prepare For Purgatory
- Purgatory purifies postmortem those who die in friendship with Christ but lack perfect holiness.
- Do perform acts of love and penance now to reduce the need for postmortem purification.
Offer Small Acts To Reduce Purification
- Offer small acts of love, fasting, or time before the Blessed Sacrament to reduce postmortem purification.
- Do practice penance and charity now so you might bypass purgatory at death.
