purgatorial
Purgatorial relates to or is characteristic of purgatory, which, in certain religious beliefs, is a transitional state where souls undergo purification or temporary punishment after death and before entering heaven. It's believed that the process helps souls atone for their sins. The term is also used metaphorically to refer to any situation or experience that involves suffering, intense difficulty, or a lengthy, uncertain waiting period.
