According to the soul in Purgatory they are not saved because of their protestantism, but in spite of it. The soul acknowledged that the Protestants do not receive as many graces as Catholics but also that there are many Catholics who abuse these graces.

For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears (2Tim 4:3)

No Protestant, as a Protestant, can ever go to Heaven ....

Could you explain what you mean here? Thanks

.
Any Protestant at the point of death who remains a Protestant and dies that way cannot be saved.
.
No one like that can ever go to heaven.
.
There are no Protestants in heaven.
.
There can be converts FROM Protestantism in heaven, or those who WERE Protestants and became Catholics.
.
Consequently, there are no Protestants in Purgatory, either, contrary to poche's silly quote of Modernist rubbish.
.
Protestants  as Protestants do not go to Purgatory, and it comes as no surprise that they don't believe in Purgatory.
.
They don't believe in the very thing that could save them if they were to believe in it, ironically.
.
Because a Protestant who at the point of death gives up his Protestantism and accepts the Catholic truth might be eligible to go to Purgatory (with God's discretion and perfect contrition) and could thereby be purged of his sins since he died with perfect contrition.
.
This is more rare than one might think because perfect contrition is very difficult even for devout Catholics.
.
When someone doesn't believe in hell, there is a difference, because you don't have to believe in hell to go there.
.
This is part of the great difference between Purgatory and hell. 
.
When I asked poche the question, that was his opportunity to provide the correct answer, but he missed his chance.
.
Protestants can go to hell even if they don't believe in hell, but they can't go to Purgatory if they don't believe in Purgatory.
.
Purgatory is a doctrine of the Catholic Faith and to deny one doctrine of the Faith is to deny the whole thing.
.
No one who accepts the Catholic Faith disbelieves in Purgatory, and accepting the Catholic Faith is the only way of being able to go to Purgatory in the first place.
.
Everyone has two choices:
1)  Believe the Catholic Faith, which includes believing in Purgatory, and be eligible for Purgatory and eventually heaven, 
............. or, 
2)  Don't believe the Catholic Faith, even if it's just your refusal to believe in Purgatory, and consequently go directly to hell.
