What would have happened to the daughter of Herodias. She ordered the death of John the Baptist. So what would have happened to her when she died.
Also what would have happened to Pilate, he said 'I am innocent of this man's blood'

Hey in the absence of an authoritative reply from an expert, I would guess that the answer is: we cannot know the mind of God. In His mercy, He makes the call. What we need to do is to work on our own salvation and endeavor to be in a state of grace.

Gil's correct. Whilst objectively she was guilty of a mortal sin, don't know what the state of her soul was at her death.
With regards Pilate, some of the Eastern Orthodox Churches have a tradition that he did in fact convert and they honour him as a saint. I don't know when his cult started though, or if it has any form of official recognition by Rome.
