Not really, a proxy baptism might make those still alive feel better about themselves or their ancestors, and of course it solves one of the theological conundrums of purgatory.

My point is that the dead are dead, no matter what anyone of any belief chooses to think. Just because a group of people think or believe something doesn't actually make it so.

Purgatory is not a general theological conundrum. It's within the domain of Catholicism and those who broke off from there.

As far as you're away, the dead are dead, unless you have absolutely solved that.
