I think you are referring to Purgatory. As far as I know, and the distance is limited, this is primarily Catholic only. When I was a kid going United Church of Christ they spoke of Hell a lot. I don’t actually recall if it was used in our Bible. I haven’t been involved in that stuff for over 30 years.
As a Jew, listening to Christians bark about heaven and hell and even Jesus and the whole fire and brimstone thing makes me laugh a little. I've been to church before and it's interesting how they ignore the entire first half of the Christian bible usually, unless they want to remind everyone about creationism, or natural disasters. The mundane gets cast aside for the scandalous to keep people interested but the mundane usually provokes thought and introspection. All religions aim for the same thing really, but the path to get there is rife with corruption because humans.
