>.> Well, since you suggested I message you. I suppose, in my opinion, the Hellish Yard could serve as purgatory in the broader sense of "place where you'll find out whether or not you go to Hell," if not in the specific Catholic canon of "place where your soul is cleansed if you're good enough to move on to Heaven" (is that right?)  After all, we don't have a concrete explanation of what the Hellish Yard does--all we have is Judgment of Corruption, wherein Gallerian states the Master of the Hellish Yard is responsible for people going to Heaven or Hell and that he'll be saved if he pays money. (Also keep in mind this could have been a test of Gallerian's character as much as an actual offer.) There isn't quite enough there to suggest what it truly is, it just isn't Hell proper.

Technically I only used purgatory as a term because I didn't know of a better equivalent.
