Purgatory is a complicated concept. To simplify, you could relate it to the Hindi belief in Karma or "What goes around comes around" or "Every dog has their day" or As you sew, so shall you reap."
Those who hurt people are going to have to feel the pain they inflicted on others. It's automatic.
So, that's what Grandma Flaherty did in her final years. She prayed for the repose of the souls of the faithful departed. And I prayed with her. I don't know how many of our relatives we moved into heaven, but I do remember that so many numbers of prayers decreased their sentence in Purgatory. I felt very powerful as a child. Possibly this is a qualification for High Priestess, knowledge of the University of Purgatory.
