Just one side point... neither purgatory or a burning hell are taught by the Bible. So yes a strange, in fact, false logic.
The Hebrew words Sheol and the greek word Hades, are the words most often rendered as Hell in the KJV and other translations. Sheol means the 'abode of the dead', the 'common grave of mankind', or the 'pit'. Basically it's the grave. When Hebrew was translated to Greek, the word Hades was most often used in place of Sheol. Contrary to what the many so-called Chrsitian religions teach, the Bible teaches that when a human dies, they go to the grave, no conciousiousness remains, they cease to exist.
