Purgatory, according to the Roman Catholic church, is a place where souls are sent to remorse and be cleansed of their sins. What sins has an unborn child committed?

Every1 is born with original sin. Being baptized cleanses you of the original sin. So if you are not baptized then you will go to pergatory. That is why unborn babies go to pergatory when they die. So sad.

Here is the truth, if you have heard of Jesus Christ and His substitutioanry sacrifice as payment for your sins, then you have had or do have or will have a choice to make. To accept or reject Christ.

The catholic denomination does not tell the truth about salvation.
Faith in Jesus Christ alone for the remission of sins alone is why you are saved. After accepting Christ you will do good works because you are saved not to be saved.

Yes, of course, Mother Teresa was baptised. I'm very sure that she is in heaven.

Yeah- I'm sorry too. I should have realized it was unintentional.
Back to my original question though- [remembering I haven't been to this thread for a while]
Mother Teresa's actions alone should qualify her for heaven.. but apparently if she were not baptized she'd got go to hell.
If someone did as much 'good' as she did, yet had no exposure to christianity and so remained unchristened.. would she not qualify for heaven considering baptism is a human action?

To make a long story short we walked out and my daughter is not baptised and has no godparents(doesn't bother me in the least) and my wife lost a lot of faith, hasn't been to church since. I think she's starting to see my points about that day.
