.pem file with SecurtCRT

Hi,
I have a issue that breaks my head and hope that maybe someone can give me a tip.
I use SecureCRT and also WinSCP to login to my remote server. I had a Firewall set-up and they gave me a .pem file and told me to use this to connect in the future when I do a remote SSL connection.
Well that is good and in WinSCP there is actually a tool called PuTTYgen that allowed me to create a ppk file from the pem file.
However I prefer SecureCRT and this seems to require a .pub file. But I searched everywhere on how to convert this pem file to a pbb file that can be used with SecureCRT.
Its killing me and it seems that either I googled for the wrong stuff of nobody else has this issue, maybe I just do not get it. So any tip on how I can use SecureCRT to connect to my remote server again using the .pem file would be very appreciated.

Best wishes,
thom
