I wouldn’t really do that until you thought it was absolutely necessary though.
I doubt her grandmother thinks her granddaughter is "evil",
rather, she just wants to save her granddaughter's soul from Hell,
or perhaps she is just a controlling grandmother who chose religion as the vehicle to manipulate her family members,
or perhaps she thinks of herself as one of God's Warriors, or something...
...and, really, she probably just wants what most Theists want
....validation, by having others agree with them.
