loved ones that have passed.

HEAVEN
Strict Christians such as Catholics believe that people go here straight away if they are perfectly purified. Some Christians believe that only Christians can get to Heaven whereas some believe that all good people (regardless of religion) can get to heaven
PURGATORYCatholics believe that people go here if they die with unforgiven sins. They remain here until their souls are cleansed and then they go to heaven.
HELLCatholics believe that people go here if they die with unforgiven mortal sins and have totally rejected God. Christians believe hell is for all eternity. Some Christians believe that anyone who is not Christian will go straight to hell. Other Christians do not believe in hell at all so everyone will eventually go to Heaven.
