Being in a state of grace is required for salvation. However, since we can't judge the state of the soul of another person, it's impossible to say who is and is not in a state of grace. Not our judgement to make.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
