So, here's the comparison between a silversmith and purgatory. Someone went to watch a silversmith at work. To purify silver you have to put it into a fire and the observer asked the silversmith how he knew when it was purified enough. He said you can't take it out too soon or it won't be purified and if I leave it in too long it will be destroyed. And the observer asked again how he knew what the perfect length of time in the fire was. And he said, that's easy; it's done when I see my reflection in the silver. (BOOYAH, same with purgatory. When God sees His reflection in us, we're ready for heaven!) :)
"He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness." Malachi 3:3
