Hence why there is no need for Abraham’s bosom now or what Catholics would call purgatory
Lol, you continue to astonish me with your catholic expertise.
Abraham's bosom (a place) is NOT what the RCC refers to as purgatory (a purification process). Those are two different things.

I see why we don't have a religion board.
I once was confused on the issue of baptism. It really affected my growth as a new Christian. Seriously affected it. My mom asked for a new bible so I went to the Christian bookstore. I ran across this book documenting a debate between a Catholic and Protestant over baptism. An entire book! I skimed through it and decided that God was not going to punish me for the method of baptism and probably not even if I was baptised, it was my heart that mattered. I did what I thought was "correct" and never looked back. Our God is not a god of confusion..man has confused everything about Him. He isn't going to send one type of baptism or line of thought go to hell and the other ok. "Well, man you lived a great life, dedicated to Jesus and such, but dag-gummit you got sprinkled instead of submersed....go to hades!"
So, bottom line, people can debate the specificities of the bible like their specific line of thought is essential for salvation. 99% of the time I would bet God is just shaking his head.

Salvation is the purification process. Why would we need another? Oh I know another works based stance to take away from Christ alone. I seem to keep seeing a pattern.
Just like the prayer of the repose of someone’s soul. It’s already been determined at death. You can’t pray them out of what their faith brought them to. That’s either salvation alone in Jesus Christ and his work or not. Can’t pray someone into heaven. If so plenty of mothers and fathers throughout time would have.
