Just sounds like a story about a poor guy going to heaven and a rich guy going to hell.
Really don't see any mention of any place at all. So where you think Lazarus and Abraham are, is really just conjecture.
I would simply assume heaven.
You can do all the mental gymnastics you want to try and justify it, but there is nowhere near enough material in those verses to justify the concept of purgatory. (Yeah, I know that's not what your saying, but I'm just saying stating what I think)
If purgatory was meant to be a real christian teaching, then I'd expect more of a description of it, in fact, there really is no description of it at all in the versed you quote.
