Do those born with disabilities - either physical or mental - spend less time in purgatory?
 
DSF,

These links should explain how people who have congenital or acquired disabilities can choose to use their suffering to draw closer to God and how severe disabilities might mitigate culpability for sin. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by these links, please contact Catholic Answers directly.
