Salvation for Non-Christians

Is there any kind of purgatory for the non-Christian who has died? Is there any way we can pray for a person’s salvation after their death?

Is it pagan to be buried with cremated pet remains?

When my earthly body is placed in the mosoleum I would like my bible, my rosary that touched the true cross, and my ring that touched the arm of St. Jude to be buried with my earthy body. My question is, would it be pagan or inappropriate to also have the cremated remains of my pet dog that had cancer be buried with my earthy remains? She is in an urn inscribed "beloved gift from I AM." She was blessed several years during the blessing of the pets and her remains in the urn have also been blessed during the blessing of the pets. But I don't want to bury her remains with me if it will separate me from our Heavenly Father. Please advise and thank you Father for enlightening us so that we do not inadvertently stray.

Addiction

Father, I have family that struggles with drug and alcohol addictions (among other addictions). The addiction seems genetic as there are multiple generations suffering from it. I know you touched on deliverance prayers for addiction, but can’t seem to find it. Could you touch on this? And would it be beneficial for my great grandmother, being the eldest of the family line, to recite these prayers for the healing of her children and grandchildren?

Blessing rentals / hotel rooms

Hello Father! How you would recommend the laity ask God to bless their hotel rooms or rental properties (eg prayer and/or hotels water) when they arrive since we don’t know what has happened there previously? Any particular rights that one has in these circumstances? Do the rights go away after leaving (good or bad?) Thank you kindly for your time and expertise!

Are exorcist cases used by the Bishops to help discern future pastoral care?

Hi Father, in thinking of the case of the Awakening where Gloria was possessed by a demon whose name was Kundalini, is the Bishop and/or Rome ever notified of such events with the purpose to determine patterns of evil or to help discern how to pastorally guide the faithful in just how dangerous these practices really are? In other words, are the cases of exorcists then used by the hierarchy to discern how to minister to the faithful given these signs of the times? Thank you and may God grant you many years.
