Proof. First note that a finitely presented $A$-module is pure projective by Algebra, Theorem 10.82.3. Hence a direct summand of a direct sum of finitely presented $A$-modules is indeed pure projective. Let $M$ be any $A$-module. Write $M = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{i \in I} P_ i$ as a filtered colimit of finitely presented $A$-modules. Consider the sequence

For any finitely presented $A$-module $P$ the map $\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ A(P, \bigoplus P_ i) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ A(P, M)$ is surjective, as any map $P \to M$ factors through some $P_ i$. Hence by Algebra, Theorem 10.82.3 this sequence is universally exact. This proves (2). If now $M$ is pure projective, then the sequence is split and we see that $M$ is a direct summand of $\bigoplus P_ i$. $\square$
