Catch is Purgatory is a Catholic doctrine not found in other Christian
traditions. Thus for non-Catholics one must not pray FOR the dead but
rather it's considered VERY appropriate to give thanks to God for
their life. In my case there's a park close to my home with a lookout
my lady loved - so I give thanks for milady there usually when walking
the dog.
Paul does assert that those who have faith but have not built on it
"will be saved, but as through fire". Which may or may not be relevant
here, but does suggest that whether it is believers or not that are
being considered may have an impact.
Then again, in the last "Incarnations of Immortality" volume (the 7th
of 5), Satan empties Hell by (in effect) pulling out his trusty guitar
and leading everyone in a chorus of "Jesus loves me, this I know".
While certainly not authoritative, some groups may believe something
similar. Also, mentioning it puts this discussion on-topic, at least
for a while.
