Really, I think the lack of finality to it is more reason to believe there is a catch. When you look at characters who have died so far, they are usually confirmed dead immediately or it is something where basically you would have every reason to assume they're dead until told otherwise. Only character who has been confirmed "dead" about which there is any reason to have doubt is Penny simply because she is a robot. Those other characters either died on-screen, were confirmed dead in the same episode after a situation where they would reasonably be expected to die, or it was something where death would have to be assumed unless they pulled out some explanation (Roman bursting out of the Griffon for example).

However, we already saw in the same episode Raven break out of being frozen and we saw Cinder could fly. There is no reason to assume she would stay frozen or that the fall would kill her. Last time we really had a situation this uncertain it involved Ozpin and obviously that was because there was a catch. He was technically killed, but he also just moves onto another body. It is for that reason that I think there is a good chance they will have her live, but also have a consequence be that she succumbed to the Grimm parasite even more.
