However, even if they have apologized for their sin, they have yet to pay the price or the dues to the people that the sin have hurt. So, people who have committed sins but atoned for them are consigned to Heaven.
According to the doctrine, Heaven is a place where there is no sin. Purgatory is considered to have a similar place but can be considered as a state where ‘purification’ occurs. It was compartmentalized into two categories, one for children called limbus infantium and the second for the Fathers called limbus patrum, a temporary state of the souls of anciently righteous people. This continued for 800 years, until Monk Thomas Aquinas claimed that Limbo of Children is a state of natural happiness for unbaptized children.Īccording to the United Church of God, Limbo, from Latin limbus meaning edge or boundary (of hell by implication), was thereafter taught to be a state after death in Roman Catholic theology. The Limbo of doctrine was introduced by philosopher Augustine, who claimed that children who are not baptized are consigned to hell. Purgatory is the place where souls are prepared for Heaven. Medieval theologians of Western Europe, suggested a place where the underworld was divided into four distinct parts: Hell of the Damned (also known as Gehenna), Purgatory, Limbo of the Fathers or Patriarchs, and Limbo of the Infants.Īs per this division, there is hell where souls that die with sin are placed. However, purgatory exits as a process rather than a place. According to a doctrine produced by the Catholic Church, there is no official place known as Limbo. This is not accurate as limbo and purgatory are two different ideologies and concepts. However, they are often confused to be the same thing. Limbo and purgatory are two places that are commonly heard of in movies and books as places that are between heaven and hell. Key Difference: Purgatory is the place where souls are prepared for Heaven.
