Of God and His Creatures
Of the Immutability of the Will of Souls detained in Purgatory
BUT because there are souls which in the instant of their parting do
not arrive at happiness, and yet are not damned, we must show that even
these souls cannot change their purpose after parting from their
bodies; and the proof is this: -- the souls of the blessed and of the
lost have their will immutably fixed according to the end to which they
have adhered. But the souls that carry with them into the next world
some matter for purgatory are not ultimately in a different case from
the blessed, for they die in charity, whereby we adhere to God as to
our last end. Therefore they too will have their will immutably fixed.

4.95 : Of the General Cause of Immutability in all Souls after their Separation from the Body
