Roman Catholic purgatory interpretation uses Paul as an exception case rather than normative

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 7) 00:06:42 – 00:07:12

Addressing the Roman Catholic counter-reading of Philippians 1

Roman Catholic theology cannot allow all believers to go immediately to God (since many go to purgatory), so they treat Paul as an exceptional case — perhaps Paul knew he would be with the Lord, but this is not normative. Mike argues this is reading their theology into the text; Paul is an example of every Christian washed by the blood of Christ.
