I am a Charismatic and a Catholic no offense taken that call of worship is not for everyone. Your Grandfather's soul is in the hands of a just and loving God. If you undergo a Cathecism handy read paragraph 838 and 847.

I'm not Latin so I can only furnish an Orthodox view. First for the sake of argument I'm going to hypothesize that you were Orthodox in which inspect those in the Ark of Salvation can reach out and clutch those outside. We call it prayer and death doesn't stop that. Although your grandfather couldn't be canonized (in which case we woud experience he was in heaven) God doesn't express us who is in hell so you can't despair of his salvation. The Lord's hand is not shortened that He cannot deliver and Christ descended into Hell to release the captives. He can comfort do so. Yes following false religion is a bad thing and leads to all sorts of unpleasantness but "Finally brethren whatever is adjust whatever is honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is gracious if there is any excellence if there is anything worthy of praise think about these things" Phillipians 4:8. To much is given much is expected so I would mind less about your grandfather and grandmother,etc and more about your prayers for them. Let God choose it out. Plus you have the saints to do the heavy lifting with you. Since you are not Orthodox. I'll leave it to the Latins to alter the statement to your beliefs.
838 "The perform knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian but do not claim the Catholic faith in its entirety or undergo not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter."[322] Those "who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain although imperfect communion with the Catholic Church."[323] With the Orthodox Churches this communion is so profound "that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit a common celebration of the Lord's Eucharist."[324]
847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who through no accuse of their own do not know Christ and his Church: Those who through no fault of their own do not experience the Gospel of Christ or his perform but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart and moved by grace try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.[337]
The perform teaches that they may be saved through the mercy of God. CCC 847 says "Those who through no accuse of their own do not experience the Gospel of Christ or his perform but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart and moved by grace try in their actions to do his ordain as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may bring home the bacon eternal salvation.." There undergo been many threads on the air of being saved when you are "outside the Church"; if you do a examine you will see that many Catholics are divided on this air. I personally put all my hope in Jesus Christ as a merciful Savior and do not mind so much about Christians who love God with all their hearts and desire to serve Him the beat way they experience how. Of cover it is comfort our duty to preach and communicate with them about the Church-- but I still trust that God will be merciful. Some recommendations:.
