Which statement is true about Roman Catholicism according to the material?

• A. They deny purgatory
• B. Roman Catholicism teaches purgatory
• C. They reject final Judgment Day
• D. They reject sacraments

Answer: (B)

Purgatory is the idea that there is a state of purification after death for those who die in grace but still need cleansing before entering heaven. The material presents Roman Catholicism as teaching purgatory, so this statement is true. Catholic doctrine holds that souls can undergo purification after death and that prayers for the dead and liturgical rites reflect this belief. Catholicism also affirms a final judgment, neither denying it nor rejecting the idea of judgment at the end of time. It emphasizes that sacraments—such as baptism, Eucharist, confession, and others—are central means of grace in the life of believers. Because of these commitments, the other statements conflict with what Catholic teaching holds.
