What about Purgatory?

I have noticed a very interesting trend of late.

Most people, whether they are Roman Catholic or not, believe that there is a place called "Purgatory" where people go after they die.

Most tell me, in essence, "Look - I know I'm not a perfect person, and I'm probably not good enough to go to heaven right when I die. But I'm not bad enough to go to hell. I think I'll go someplace in between - like Purgatory or something."

It's amazing. Probably 90% of the people with whom I speak tell me that they think there is a place in between heaven and hell where people go to sort of get "cleaned off" before they enter heaven.

So what about Purgatory?

Is it a real place?

Does the Bible teach it?

How is it that non-Catholics believe in it when in reality it is a purely Roman Catholic teaching?
