I think even stranger than a dead Dick going to Purgatory is why Cas and Dean went. What kind of a side effect is that? Crowley said they weapon had a kick to it...almost as if the "recoil" of the weapon killed them too. Obviously that doesn't make since because if they died Dean would go to Heaven or Hell (who the heck knows where Cas would go). Otherwise, it just kind of "pulled" them in along with Dick. That also doesn't make sense because the only way to travel to a dimension of the dead (Heaven, Hell, Purgatory) is to DIE. Only Death (and presumably God) can travel freely between dimensions without dying.

To me it seems like the ending of the season 7 finale seemed very rushed and contrived. I hope they attempt to fix it or at least explain it better in season 8.
