The humble sinner Greg

Another place that he speaks of purgation is in his "On the soul and the resurrection." his work "The Great Catechism"
He speaks of burning fire. Was he reffering to Saint Paul's letter to the Corinthians where each mans works will be tested by fire?
As understood by Tertulliam, Ambrose and Augustine in the West.

Why are these overlooked by many in the East or are they symply not aware of them?
Stephanos I
PS I know in no way does this represent a consensus of the Fathers but it most certainly does show where the Latin idea of purgatory came from.
