Purgatory

Purgatory is a place according to Catholicism,
where we go after we die to pay for our sins.
If your sins haven't been atoned for
you're not getting into Heaven's doors,
but again, according to Catholicism
during the Holy time of Lent you can atone for your sins.
40 days of atonement and sacrifice however is what you must do
in order to successfully atone for the sins committed by you
and during Lent it's not surprising to see Christians wishing that they were Jew
because during the Holy time of Yam Kippur, only one day of atonement is all you need to do.
I can just hear all of they of the Jewish faith
secretly laughing at the Christians during mid Lent withdrawal state.
I'm on my 5th day of Lent and I'm ready to bale.
Even in sin, all Christians tend to pay in retail.
