It should be said, however, that this is just the newer, more palatable version of Purgatory that the Church is currently promoting. The historic doctrine holds that Purgatory is a place of purgation, punishment that's no less painful than what's suffered by the souls in Hell. And it is not just for unforgiven sins, but for sins that have already been forgiven! That is to say, even the saved must "pay" for having sinned in the first place, even if they've been forgiven of them in Confession or some other way and are, therefore, assured of Heaven. In other words, Purgatory is for nearly everyone who is bound, ultimately, for Heaven.
Modern Catholics naturally are unwilling to believe such Medieval stuff, so the Church has unofficially begun to redefine Purgatory...and the section you quoted exemplifies this new approach.
Instead of purgation, the word used is "purification," even though it's the first one of these usages that gives its name to the place. This new approach has been called the "celestial washroom" because it posits a Purgatory that is a quickie re-orientation prior to the soul entering into Heaven. So it's no longer time-consuming or painful, therefore who could dispute that or fear it?
The reason for all this subterfuge may need to be understood also. Unlike Limbo (unbaptized infants), which the Church disposed of a few years ago, Purgatory was the creation of a church council, so dumping it cannot honestly be explained away in the way Limbo's expiration is explained--"well, it never was official, you know."
Purgatory will continue to be taught, but the "Purgatory" that is referred to now is not the Purgatory of the previous 600 or so years of Church history.
