At the end is a sample of her philosophical writing which gives an impression of the rigorous Thomistic Scholasticism she adopted. The author makes the claim that Stein and her sister were treated without mercy because of the outspokenness of the Catholic Church, something new to This little book gives the bare facts of Edith Stein's life, mostly from secondary sources.

Paul is that his freedom of the law is to find the law less burdensome. Rather, we are bound by this commandment because murder is intrinsically evil, and always involves a turning away from God and, for that matter, from man. I am not, and I believe that you are not, tempted to murder anybody. So what does that have to do with purgatory? Well, we are not yet free of the whole law, in that we are tempted still to transgress other parts of it.
Edith Stein: Philosopher. Mystic. Martyr. Feminist. (A Handful of Catholics Book 2)
Many of us are not even actually free of the commandment to not murder, since our society permits, condones, and even to some extent encourages murder in the form of abortion. Others are tempted to others sins: Most of us are free of temptations to many of these sins, some are free of temptations to most of these sins, and a small handful are nearly free of any temptation to the sins which I could name there are always more sins. Suppose that we die in this intermediate state: What then happens to us?
First of all, a temptation is not a sin, but rather the enticement to sin. It could be ignored, resisted.

On the other hand, we generally find in this life that such resistance can be difficult, and may even involve some small amount of sacrifice on our own part: Yet, when we ask God for the strength to resist sins, and when we make the effort to cooperate with what grace He does send us, we eventually find that the temptations are lessened somewhat, and that we actually can resist them successfully. Yet this often involves some effort and sacrifice on our own part here in this life.
What if we fail to make that effort, if we cave in to temptations, what then? Perhaps this is so—but what is faith, then? It would therefore necessitate more than just belief and trust, more than acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior. I agree that there is more to faith than this, but then we enter the question as to what faith is, and what it needs to be to be a channel for grace. Ultimately, for such a view of faith to be consistent, anyone who sins—or at least, who sins grievously—lacks faith in Christ, and this whether they repent or no. On the other hand, there are some who might say that the struggle to repent and sin no more does not matter.
Once Christ is accepted into the heart, then the person is saved for all time, regardless of the sins he commits, and regardless of whether he is contrite after having committed those sins. Upon death, those sins are immediately forgotten, and bear no penalty.
The Feminine Mystique
We might still try to resist temptation to show our love for Christ, but it ultimately does not matter one whit as to whether we sin or not. Since no unclean thing enters into heaven Revelation This, however, begs a question: If they can be declared null, what is the point of not sinning? And why should some souls go to hell for sinning, if sins can be easily nullified or cleansed? Purgatory makes sense only if there is a requirement that a soul not just be declared clean, but actually be clean.
It is still unclean. A man who has not bathed in a month is not cleansed by merely putting on clean clothes; clean clothes will not remove the dirt. It needs to be cleansed or purged of its dirtiness.
Purgatory Part 1: Conversion as a Process | Catholic Lane
The purging comes in purgatory. Thus, our sins are not merely covered up, let alone ignored, but rather removed, and we are cleansed of them. By extension, we are freed of our temptations to sin, since a heaven in which we must resist temptation is also a heaven in which we might suffer—hardly heaven. The souls in purgatory are sorry for their sins, but is this a sorrow for having offended God, or is it a sorrow which fears the loss of salvation or the punishments of hell?
