Well-ordered condition of pure in spirit? (8)

I believe the answer is:

neatness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'well-ordered condition' is the definition.

'pure in spirit?' is the wordplay.
'pure' becomes 'neat' (I've seen this before).
'in spirit?' becomes 'ness' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'neat'+'ness'='NEATNESS'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neatness that I've seen before include "Orderliness" , "Tidiness" , "well-tended condition" , "condition of the pure in spirit?" , "Tidy quality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
