Our works will be judged by fire, we will not be purged by fire. The loss we suffer is our rewards. This meaning is as plain as day for anyone with a eye to see God's truth.

Are you interpretating Scripture on your own again?

1 Cor 3:10-15
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon it. 11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. 14 If any man's work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. NAS

Paul says to the Corinthians: "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in his body, whether good or evil" (2 Cor 5:10)

According to the above verse, we will be judged in the afterlife! according to what we have done in the body.
