There are some that can survive temperatures of reentry for long periods of time. So there in fact are organisms that tolerate 100C quite easily, and indefinitely.

I said there some bacteria could survive in 100C but no bacteria could live a long life boiling water is not a good place to live for bacteria !
Yes there are bacteria live in the hot springs I give an example for that but not at 100C .
