Will my deceased Baptist grandmother have a chance to go to heaven?

[Ben_F]

She was a devout Baptist. She was a better Baptist than I am Catholic. She never recieved the body of Christ. She was baptised in the name of the holy trinity, with water,but believed it to be only symbolical. I won’t pray for her soul if you tell me it’s useless. Ben F
