I don't know anything about "Mei Marom"
Nevertheless,
I would venture a less than literal approach here, Viz.

A person who does teshuva meiahava would likely be "meqabeil yissurim
be'ahavah". Those welcome yissurim would serve to purge, purify, and
smelt that person. Therefore AISI - "gehinnnom "is lav davka, and may
simply be a metaphor referring to this process.

Again, this is an intuitive hunch.
