The Catholic Church, religion and faith are three different things. I believe in God. I have religion. I don't belong to any church. Religion and faith are personal. The Catholic Church is a religious social group. If there is a God and a Heaven, God's not going to care what church you belong to. He's only going to care about your personal actions, thoughts and beliefs. If there is a God and a Heaven, churches and religions don't go to Heaven. Only individuals do. I'm not Catholic. But we were talking about Limbo and Purgatory, those are Catholic concepts. I was raised Catholic. But I'm not anymore. They have lots of stupidity. But with all due respect, their constructs are conceptual. Nobody is supposed to take them literally. I know lots of Catholics do. Even some in the Church. But that's because they lack the mental ability to see things conceptually. Nobody knows for sure. Most Catholics understand this. And also, specifics are there for children. Children generally lack the mental ability to conceptualize. If one waits until a person is old and smart enough to conceptualize, it's already too late for most. And for those who are just stupid, it's better to have a dumb person fear God, than be immoral.
