These words are spelled similarly but have different meanings. 'Purificandam' means she must be purified, made clean while 'perficiendam' means she must be finished, accomplished. This is the final item in a list of passive periphrastics: 'erudiendam, corripiendam, corrigendam, purificandam/perficiendam' meaning she must be educated, chastized, improved, and purified/finished. Likely 'purificandam' makes more contextual sense.
