>>17753303Jesus only says he will be with him in Paradise, the abode of the righteous dead (like Abraham who lived pious lives). It doesn't exclude the possibility of a Purgatory. The thief was saved because he was penitent. He did penance (charitable work) by suffering on a cross with Jesus. St Paul says that faith without charity is nothing. Anyone who says they know God but continue to sin is a liar.
