Is it necessary to have the sins purged of those who are in Christ Jesus before they can go to heaven?
This is the famous/infamous 'Pay now, pay later' debate, so named for Dr. Stravinskas' response to a question regarding a passage from Tobit.

The nature of God, the anthropology of man, and the very gospel itself must be considered in the topic of purgatory.
