No. He said everything that happened on the island was real.
It was only the sideways universe that was purgatory. The island itself, and all that happened on it, really happened.
Which is why Hurley told Ben he was a good #2. Because they stayed on the island and protected it until they died long later.,
Which is why Kate told Jack she missed him. She left the island in the plane, and lived her life. She died long after jack.
Which is why Ben sat outside the church. He still had things to atone for.
Which is less lame? Dismissing the series as a really boring view of purgatory, or wading through all of that other shit and trying to make sense of it?
