Yes there is no such word in the bible..
purgatory in RCC teachings is either a place or a state where righteous souls needs to be cleansed for them to enter heaven, since Nothing unclean shall enter heaven (Rev 21:27).
examples....
Baruch 3:4 - Baruch asks the Lord to hear the prayers of the dead of Israel. asa man ang mga nangamatay nag.ampo, if there were just heaven and hell?
2 Macc. 12:43-45 - the prayers for the dead help free them from sin and help them to the reward of heaven. asa man d i ang souls nga ampuan sa mga buhi?..
2 Tim. 1:16-18 - Onesiphorus is dead but Paul asks for mercy on him “on that day.” Paul’s use of “that day” demonstrates its eschatological usage (see, for example, Rom. 2.5,16; 1 Cor. 1.8; 3.13; 5.5; 2 Cor. 1.14; Phil. 1.6,10; 2.16; 1 Thess. 5.2,4,5,8; 2 Thess. 2.2,3; 2 Tim. 4.8 ) Where is Onesiphorus then?
Of course, there is no need for mercy in heaven, and there is no mercy given in hell.

of course the term purgatory is not found in bible literally so does holy trinity and even the Bible itself..hehehe
