So, you don't want to use a rule because you want to look at the messages before you run this script to delete them, right? Will this work for you:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set allOfEm to every message of folder "Inbox"
    repeat with aMsg in allOfEm
        set c to category of aMsg
        if {category "Junk"} is in c then
            move aMsg to folder "Deleted Items"
-- If you want to permanently delete it, add this line: delete aMsg
        end if
    end repeat
end tell
