Kathairo, to purge or cleanse.
What is Purgatory is hard work but deeply satisfying?
What if it is painful hard work but even more deeply satisfying?
I know the medieval descriptions were all of fire and torment, but everyone, Christian or not, seemed to talk a lot about torment anyway, both in this life and the next. The best you could hope for, it seemed was to be forgotten and left alone.
If there is work to be done in Heaven, designed for our pleasure in being useful, the boundary between them... well, it would just be my speculation over another's.
