I thought that I ought to put in a postscript: the Church accepts not only contrition (repentance for the love of God), but attrition (repentance due to the fear of Hell). In either case, it believes that justice must still be satisfied, and the individual soul must be purified, and therefore that the sinner must go through Purgatory before enjoying the bliss of heaven. Although individual synods in the Orthodox communion have affirmed the doctrine of Purgatory, it does not have the same doctrinal status, since the Orthodox think that there has been no valid ecumenical council since the Great Schism. Some Anglicans believe in Purgatory, some don't.
