This may be the wrong forum, please move if so.

I was reading one of the “Ask an Apologist” forums and there was one about what happens when the damned are resurrected Here and Father Vincent talked about a particular and a general judgement.

While I am still not convinced about Purgatory (though it is logical) I was curious if at the time of the general judgement are all in Purgatory released?

Believe the hype about fire and purgatory if you want, but fire is not Gods way to purify His children. The blood of Jesus is more powerful than fire and is able to save you to the uttermost. Rev 1:5 says “says He washed us from our sins in His own blood.” Rev 5:9 says “He has redeemed us to God by His blood.” Rev.7:14 says “and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” There is no other way but the blood of Christ. If you don’t like it, complain to God, not me.

We “like it!”. The Catholic Church LOVES IT. No complaints.

Just a clarification for you.

Yes it is the blood of Christ. One is “redeemed” by the blood of the Lamb - ones robes are made white in his blood. The fire of the Love of God is not something separate from the blood of Christ. The blood of Christ continues its work during ones life here on earth and completes any needed purification on the way to heaven.

Doing the final purifying of the soul of all which remains to be made pure before the person enters into Heaven - as Scripture (see the Book of Revelation) notes nothing impure can enter.

The image of fire is not opposed to the blood of Christ. In scripture fire gets used in various places such as Zechariah 13:9 and Malachi 3:3 (refiners fire…), Isaiah 48:10 etc

St. Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians (3:12-14):

Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

O Precious Blood of Jesus prayer :

O Precious Blood of Jesus, infinite price of sinful man’s redemption, both drink and laver of our souls, Thou who dost plead continually the cause of man before the throne of infinite mercy; from the depths of my heart, I adore Thee, and so far as I am able, I would requite Thee for the insults and outrages which Thou dost continually receive from human beings, and especially from those who rashly dare to blaspheme Thee. Who would not bless this Blood of infinite value? Who doth not feel within himself the fire of the love of Jesus who shed it all for us? What would be my fate, had I not been redeemed by this Divine Blood? Who hath drawn it from the veins of my Savior, even to the last drop? Ah, this surely was the work of love. O infinite love, which has given us this saving balm! O balm beyond all price, welling up from the fountain of infinite love, grant that every heart and every tongue may be enabled to praise Thee, magnify Thee and give Thee thanks both now and for evermore.
Amen.
