    Purgatory is a step that leads to heaven, not a final destination. It’s a step that a lot of Catholics will have to take too, according to the catholic church so it’s not something that separates believers and non-believers.

    Baptism and Pentecostalism are categories of evangelicalism. So yeah, they believe that. But they’re a minority within Christianity.

    Jesus’ sacrifice saving humanity from eternal damnation is a key tenet of nearly all denominations.

    Yes.

    And most of them also say that you need to actually accept it and turn your life over to him to qualify for the get out of Hell free card.

    No. Only in evangelicalism.

        Yeah, that’s what cults do. I’m very sorry, and happy for you you found a way out. It’s better to be an atheist than jailed in a cult, and I know God will understand.

      False, not only in evangelicalism. The words of Jesus Christ disagree with you. Do you need me to quote the “Narrow Gate” to you? You should be very familiar with it if you’ve read the Bible.
