A doctrine in itself could be viewed differently, as when the lord said that Christians should "eat His flesh and drink His blood" (people actually thought it was literal aka cannibalism).
See Galatians 1:8-9. Should doctrines be observed differently based on their perceptions?
Well, you're right. "You have all the right to believe or not believe if Purgatory exists." Should they believe, so be it. It's a problem among RCC which they themselves should resolve it.
