Pray for those who worship a false deity. Really? Unless they are baptized, there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church! Is the Pillar now signing up for the Yabadabado agreement?

There is no salvation that is unmediated through Christ and His Church. All salvation comes through the Church. But I think Dominus Iesus makes clear that we can pray for the souls of all the dead, not knowing the state of their souls at the time of death.
Yes, pray for those who worship a false deity, perhaps ESPECIALLY for those who worship a false deity. We should not desire that anyone be damned, and if there is ever some mercy of God that he shows toward righteous people who do not know Him, then we should pray that they receive it.
This isn't a case of The Pillar signing onto kumbayah pseudo-ecumenism, it's a case of understanding "extra ecclesiastical nulla salus" as the church teaches it and not being Feeneyite heretics. Pretty simple honestly.

Thus, if they are in heaven now, they are currently Catholic (putting paid to the joke about "what is inside of that big wall (in heaven?)" "oh, the Catholics; they think they are the only ones here": that's not how it works at all.) You could omit "unless they are baptized" since for the baptized it is also true that in heaven they are Catholic.

Pray for the conversion of those who are going to die today who are not yet in a state of grace.
