Unless it specifically mentions a place called purgatory by name, describes it, tells us why people go there etc. then yeah, you're probably wasting your time.
If it's as vague as most other bible verses I get quoted with then I'm not interested at all.
The word Trinity does not appear anywhere in the text of the New Testament, yet the concept is clearly taught. Does the word Purgatory have to be in the text before one believes the Bible supports it?
