Agreed! I disputed it as a Protestant.

Like I said ^, if you are sure it's in there, described and all that. I'd like to see it. Doesn't necessarily have to be named 'purgatory'. That's why I said 'holy trinity' doesn't matter either, because it is still described quite fully, despite not being given the term holy trinity.
If you think the same can be said for purgatory go for it.
Yes, sorry I misunderstood you. One moment.
18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 19 through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison 20 who disobeyed long ago ...
(1 Peter 3)
My thought: Heaven is nowhere described as a prison. Hell is described as a place, or state of existence where God is not present. The Bible claims Jesus is God. I'm thinking this place, or state of existence where Jesus went cannot be either heaven, or hell. What do you think, hypothetically speaking, of course.
