Angel went to Hell, but he didn't die. He got sucked into Hell. Buffy went to Hell with Lily/Anne, but she didn't die to get there. Was that place Skip guarded, where that Billy character was a Hell?

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
Angel, Billy
Angel was already dead when he went to hell.
No, he was undead.
And yet. . . not alive.
Still, dying wasn't what got him to hell. His animation status was unchanged.
I recall a lot of use of the words "hell dimension", I thought they were trying to shy away from the use of the christian "heaven" and "hell"
In a Christian universe, Anya goes to purgatory. That's the place for righteous unbelievers, right?
If it's binary -- heaven or hell -- I think it's hell because she never repented, which makes me sad.
Isn't purgatory only what Catholics believe?
Yep. No Purgatory in the Protestant 'verse. Not sure about the Eastern Orthodox churches, though.
