RE: Passage from Hell to Purgatory with Dante Alighieri | BOOK REVIEW The Inferno of Dante, Part II: Purgatory

That's fantastic, I really appreciate you reading the content and commenting on it. I agree with your reflections on what he says about redemption, but as I mentioned, there seem to be some strong signs that some people there just "think" they can receive redemption or a pardon. But in reality they've been there forever, it's a bit confusing to explain without removing parts of the text.

I think I can understand it. Those people who "think" they can achieve redemption, do nothing to achieve it and therefore have been there forever.
