This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to filter a WP Archive using the post expiration timestamp from Forms, i.e. the _cred_post_expiration_time field.
Solution: Use the archive's Query Filter editor to add a query filter based on that hidden custom field value. First, you must expose the hidden _cred_post_expiration_time field to Views filters. Go to Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content, and add _cred_post_expiration_time in the "Hidden custom fields" section. Then in the WordPress Archive, add a Query Filter based on the _cred_post_expiration_time custom field. Configure the filter so that it finds results with _cred_post_expiration_time greater than or equal to NOW, or TODAY, as shown in the screenshot here. You may have better results with TODAY depending on your server's timezone settings, but you can try NOW or TODAY in the filter configurations to see which one gives the best results.

I need to query filter the post type archive to show classifieds with expiration date equal or greater than the date set via the $(_cred_post_expiration_time) field.
I assume you mean you want to display classified posts with expiration date equal or greater than the current date, based on the expiration in the _cred_post_expiration_time field, is that correct? In other words, posts that have not yet expired?
If that is the case, you can use the archive's Query Filter editor to add a query filter based on that hidden custom field value. First, you must expose the hidden _cred_post_expiration_time field to Views filters. Go to Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content, and add _cred_post_expiration_time in the "Hidden custom fields" section. Then in the WordPress Archive, add a Query Filter based on the _cred_post_expiration_time custom field. Configure the filter so that it finds results with _cred_post_expiration_time greater than or equal to NOW, or TODAY, as shown in the screenshot here. You may have better results with TODAY depending on your server's timezone settings, but you can try NOW or TODAY in the filter configurations to see which one gives the best results.
Let me know if this will not work for your needs, and I can give you some additional feedback.
