One of Rome's earliest official proclamations regarding a Purgatory was Pope Leo X's Bull of Exurge Domine. In the year 1520 he stated, along with some other things, that death is the termination not of nature but of sin, and this inability to sin makes [purgatorial souls] secure of final happiness; viz: according to Leo X, the occupants of a Purgatory are unable to sin; subsequently, they are sinless and will not commit new sins while undergoing purgatorial discipline and purification.
I'm sure you can see right off just how essential it would be for souls in a Purgatory to be sinless, because if they weren't, then Rome's promise in CCC.1030, of an assured eternal salvation for purgatorians, would be a tenuous guarantee indeed since each new sin committed while interred in a Purgatory would add time to the penitent’s original sentence; with the very real possibility of potentially snow-balling to the point where they would never be released.
The reason I used Leo's Bull as in introduction is because I often get asked to explain why the Bible's hell is so permanent. I mean: an eternity of suffering in the netherworld for just a relatively few brief years of sins on earth? Where's the justice in that: unless people in hell continue to rack up sins after they get there?
