The concept is not entirely foreign to Protestantism. 1 Corithians 3:15 & Malachi 3:2 both describe people being purged of their sins. I would say that what Protestants object to is not the concept of being purged of sin; but rather, they object to the notion of a spatially distinct and temporally enduring spiritual state set aside for the refining process.
