My husband was telling me about a “friend of a friend” who happens to be a protestant and recently passed away. When my husband told his friend that he would pray for this person, his friend responded that there was no need to do so. He explained that the person is already in heaven and we don’t need to pray for anyone who has passed on and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior during their life on earth.
This started a discussion between us in wondering who prays for the protestants once they die?? Since purgatory is an issue for most of them, it’s not like they have their families or congregations down here praying for the repose of their soul.
(Yes I know that we pray for ALL souls in Purgatory but there must be special graces afforded those whose families and friends pray for them specifically by name and with fervor.)
Do you think protestants spend more time in Purgatory because they don’t have people praying specifically for them?
