I was thinking that maybe because we don't know the laws of who goes to Heaven and who has done questionable things but maybe not bad enough for hell, that perhaps Mary making the deal with YED qualified her for some time in purgatory before Heaven. Isn't that some of the lore, that Purgatory is for not bad people but those that just weren't clean enough to go straight to Heaven. After their cleansing time, then they go on to Heaven.
I'm pulling this out of my butt with no theological instruction, but since show often does the same thing, I think that is fair practice. I might check wiki to see what show is probably using as rules for Purgatory.
We have no information that humans go to Purgatory, but Mary was a spirit, so maybe the rules for her are different.
I doubt we can extrapolate any rules from outside onto Purgatory, because starting with "monsters go there" I think they broke loose from most other canon.
I'm pretty sure purgatory is a fairly Catholic concept, and as far as I know monsters (i.e. the wicked, the evil, any who egregiously are not in God's grace) would go straight to hell.
Fair point. Also with Crowley gone, Purgatory is probably going to be forgotten. I'm thiking the emphasis will go back to locating Lucifer's cage and retrieving Sam's (or what is left of Sam's ) soul.
Uh, one of the commenters says they voted 1000 times. I wonder what the margin was. Also...weirdo.
(I didn't vote more than once a day, tops! Totally balanced)
I'm a bad fan. I only voted once. But it was with all my love.
Oh Misha. Misha, Misha, Misha. Also the look he gave the camera during the photo shoot? Smokin'!
I voted for the cover a lot, when I remembered to do it.
I haven't voted as much for the People's Choice thing, because you have to go through all the nominees to get to SPN, and apparently I am just that lazy.
I loved Jared looming up there during the shoot. Adorable gigantor.
That was an old photo shoot--Jensen was wearing the amulet.
Whenever it was, they all looked awesome.
