I think that you are assuming a lot here. It may or may not be that the Gods have absolute control over who does and does not access the afterlife. Obviously, the God of Light pulled Ozma out of it, for his own purposes. But we don't know what the rules re: the afterlife are in RWBY. People who believe in "ghosts" in our world have all sorts of explanations (eg. restless souls or the souls of people who have died violently) to explain why these beings have not gone on to the afterlife. Again, we simply don't know what the rules re: this kind of thing are in RWBY. As I suggested in my first post, I think that a credible case can, indeed, be made that Pyrrha exists in some spiritual form and that she was active in vol. 6 when she led Jaune to the statue. That is speculation on my part, of course, but it seems amazingly coincidental that Pyrrha's symbol appeared to lead Jaune to that particular statue at that particular time, just at the time he needed it. Also, I don't see why Pyrrha's spirit would be vulnerable to Grimm.
