except that doesn’t make sense. only the saved are in Purgatory, so they will be resurrected. so a prayer that they be resurrected at all would be an odd one to make. not only that, but nowhere do these verses speak of a condition of the soul like Purgatory.

saying that verse supports Purgatory is like when Muslims say John 1 supports Mohammed since they ask John if he is the Prophet.

Also, idolatry is considered a mortal sin in Roman Catholicism, which does not bring people to Purgatory. So it would have been impossible for Judas Maccabeus to pray for them.
