No. Presently, those who "go to Hell" are in a place of holding until judgment. And no, it isn't a semblance of purgatory... because the doctrine of purgatory teaches that purgatory cleanses believers from lesser sins prior to entering Heaven.

That we will be judged and have our souls placed in our eternal (temporary) resting home once, then we are to be judged again and have our bodies placed in that eternal resting home for the final time?

Nope. The wicked person is only "condemned" upon death... the sentence is instituted after the final judgment.

What's the point of that? If we already know where we're going to be, why are we getting judged again? Just to contemplate how bad/good we lived our lives before God?

Have you ever known anyone who was arrested??? People are arraigned, incarcerated, and then they have to stand trial at a later date. Same principle.
