@Deleted User Do Catholics believe Jesus went to Hades?

Also @Deleted User Is purgatory heretical?

We do not find it heretical per se

we reject that doctrine but we do believe that some sins can be repented after death

The way of defining purgatory that is most acceptable to the Eastern Orthodox mind is to say that those who are being saved by Repentance and Baptism and participation in the sacramental life of the Church but whose sins, nonetheless, continue to create lasting effects such as passions, addictions, attachments to worldly things which inhibit their spiritual growth and progress toward theosis, are given the grace of having these lasting effects expiated so that they can receive the Vision of God. The way of spiritual progress moves beyond Baptism through three stages, Purification, Illumination, and finally Theosis. For those who die in a state of faith and repentance but before having completed these stages of spiritual progress, their eternal salvation is not in doubt, but this does not abrogate the need to pass through these stages

@Iakovos Also Hades for us is what call hell sometime just to clarify that not the literal underworld of Hades that ancient greeks believed

I know Mike.

Also, purgatory is scriptural as in 1st Corinthians 3

The entire chapter is about it.

So I will be joining the Catholic Church absolutely.

Sorry, Orthodox brother ❤

Thats good to hear cathobro

@Iakovos I'm also happy that you did you found out your faith again ^_^

If God allows that I live through this summer, I will be joining RCIA this August at my Priest's recommendations. I am extremely excited, I can't wait for summer to pass and begin catechization.

I wish you luck bro

I knew that once I came back that God loved me, and so I sought him for advice and guidance to worship him to the best of my ability. I know in my heart the Catholics worship correctly.

God never abandons anyone, he is waiting patiently for everyone to come back

AS LE JOO I SUPPORT THE FOUNDING OF FALASTIYN

Orthodox worship is equally valid, don't deny them that. They are schismatic, not heretic.

Christ is literally present in the Eucharist of an Orthodox Mass

I think we probably believe the same thing about purgatory but explain it differently. The Catholic explanation sounds more like a place, and the Orthodox more like a state of existence

@Deleted User Exactly

thats why we don't scrap the idea of a place like purgatory but don't accept it as a place that the souls go before go to haven
