Of those who attain salvation lmao

Do orthodox believe in purgatory?

No

Wow

I bet you can find prety much the same with different words

Orthodox gets better and better.

Is God's grace not good enough?

Do yall pray to Mary?

What do you think allows the purificaiton in pugatory lmao?

You can pray to any saint, the Theotokos is not excluded

You talk about purgatory as if it was something external to God

Why do you pray to saints and not to God?

P. sure God doesnt want us to suffer

Matthew 5:25-26

**Matthew 5:25-26 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<25> Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. <26> Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. ```

You pray to God as well silly billy

+search purgatory

Sure God doesn't want us to deny the purified state that Heaven requires

The orthos have the theotokos

I think I want to visit Orthodox mass

Praying to saints means you ask the saints to pray for you, you dont worship them

Catholics have too many issues and traditions of men.

BEGUM ORDODOG

@Iakovos wear comfy shoes, most orthodox churches don't have pews

Catholics import too many muslims

Lmao ur mum is a tradition of men

Weird russian man, that is perfect.

Good early church tradition

No pews

After all, why do you think we pray for the dead?

Remus are you from the south in the US

All 3000+ protestant faiths are, by definition, traditions of men

@Mozalbete ⳩ Why would you pray for the dead?

Praying for the dead does nothing if there is no purgatory

Yes it does.

But it's specifically mentioned in macabees

Yes

I just want to prep you. I went to orthodox church in south in US and it was but shocking as women didnt veils etc

"This teaching is also based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: "Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin."609 From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.610 The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead:"
