An uptight business man races against the clock to find a way out of purgatory or risks to lose his life.
I'm no authority on Catholic theology, but isn't the very fact that he's in purgatory mean he's already dead -- he's already lost his life?

If it’s intended to be a satire then the genre to select in this forum is comedy. ?(Unfortunately, this site doesn’t allow compounding of genres like “action-comedy” or “action” and “comedy”.)
IMHO, ?super hero franchises have degenerated into parodies of themselves. ?Be that as it may,, there doesn’t seem to be a particular plot hook to grab and hold attention. ?So what will sell the script and film are a cast of funny characters and lots of clever and funny dialogue. ?Which, of course, is impossible to convey a sense of in a logline.
The ?intentional parody of the scifi genre ?”Galaxy Quest” (1999) ?was a fairly funny and commercially successful send up of the popular “Star Trek” franchise. ?In addition to funny characters and funny dialogue, it had a story hook: mistaken identity. ?The aliens mistake the fictional characters as real scifi heroes and come to earth to beg the cast of mere mortals to rescue their planet. ?Hilarity ensues.
Hollyweird has no shame when it comes to stealing or recycling story concepts so maybe after nearly 20 years there would be interest in a parody that recycles the “Galaxy Quest” plot hook of mistaken identity. ?I dunno. ?Anyway, I suggest brainstorming for a story hook that can be embedded in the logline.
fwiw
